I’m following the path God laid for me
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found that place at the close of day
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
My life’s been full, I savored much:
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now,
He set me free.
A Light is Gone
A light from our household is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
We have to mourn the loss of one
We did our best to save.
Beloved on earth, regretted still,
Remembered in the grave.
‘T was hard to part with one so dear,
We little thought the time was near.
Farewell, dear one, your life is past,
Our love for you till the end will last.
