I'm following the path God laid for me.
I could not stay another day
to laugh, to love, to work or play.
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 has been full, I've 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 heart and share with me
God wanted me now, He set me free.
