" Don't grieve for me, for now i'm free
I'm following the path God has laid you see..
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 , to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way........
I found that peace 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....Oh 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 now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.......God wanted me now; He set me free!!"
