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 his 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’ve found that peace at the end 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 too I will miss

Be not burdened with times of sorrow

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life has been full, I savored much

Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch

Perhaps my time seemed all 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.
