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 a place at the close of the 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, will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you 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 too brief, don't lengthen it with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee, God wanted me now; He set me free.
