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 and play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way;

I found that place at the 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 fife's been full, I savoured much;

Good friends, good time, a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seems all too 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.
