I could not stay another day to love, laugh, work, or play. Tasks undone must stay that way. I have found that place at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it now with remembered joy, a friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, all things I too shall miss. My life been full, I savored much, good friends, good times, and loved by my loved ones touch. Lift up your hearts and share with me. God wanted me now, he has set me free.
