For MichelleH
I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following paths God made for me
I took His hand, I heard Him call
Then turned and bid farewell to all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to sing, to play
Task left undone must stay that way
I found my peace at close of day.
And if my parting 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, deep with sorrow
I wish you sunshine of tomorrow
My life has been full I've savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wants me now, He set me free.
