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 found peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A love shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes! these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrows.
My life has been full; I’ve savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don’t lengthen it with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me,
God wanted me now; He set me free!
