Mother

The silent tears that each must shed,

Like rain upon the ground,

Will nourish all the love for her,

Which did in life abound.

Our Mother’s labors now are over,

Her earthly labor done,

And now she rests in peaceful sleep,

Her rich rewards are won.

Her family sheds a silent tear,

The grandchildren, too, must mourn;

But they again will meet her,

When eternal life is born.

"I’M FREE"

Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free,

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’ve found that peace 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 for you the sunshine of tomorrow

My life’s been full, I’ve savored much,

Good friends, good times, my loved one’s touch

If my time seemed all too brief,

Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief

Lift up your heart, rejoice with me,

God wanted me now, He set me free.
