I’M FREE 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 undone must stay that away. I found that peace at 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, Iv e savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, don t lenghten it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me God wanted me now: He set me free.
