"I Am Free"

Don't grieve for me, for I am 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 found 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,
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with time of sorrow;
Look for the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full; I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief;
Don't lengthen your pain with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and peace to thee,
God wanted me now- He set me free.
