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.
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 hardened 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 all too brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee--
God wanted my now, He set me free.
