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 that place 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.

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’ve savored much;

Good friends, good times,

A loved one’s touch

Perhaps my time seemed 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.
