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 His 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 my 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 shall miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been good, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief—
don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee,
God wanted me now; “He set me free.
