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 had left a void,
Then fill it with remembering joy;
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Ah yes, these things...I too, will miss.
Be burdened with times of tomorrow.
My life' s been full, I savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed to 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.
