I took his hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left a void,
then filled it with remembered joy.
My life’s been full; I savored much,
good friends good times, a loved one’s touch.
A friendship shared a laugh a kiss;
Ah yes these things I too will miss.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;
do not lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me;
God wanted me now, He set me free.
