I Am Free

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free to follow the path God made 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 love, to laugh, to work or play.

Tasks undone must stay that way, For I found peace at last, that day.

If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembering joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with hearts of sorrow.

My wish for you is the hope of tomorrow.

My life’s been full, I’ve savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed much too brief, Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me, God wants me now – He’s set me free.
