Soy Libre
No lloren por mí, ahora soy libre… Sigo el camino que Dios marco para mí, cuando escuche su voz llamándome tome todo y me fui. No puedo quedarme otro día más para reír, querer, trabajar o jugar…Cosas quedaron sin terminar deben quedar así ese lugar al fin del día lo encontré. Si mi partida a dejado un vacío, llénenlo con recuerdos felices, buenas amistades y risas, estas cosas yo también extrañare. No se angustien en estos tiempos tristes, les deseo lo mejor. Mi vida ha sido completa, he gozado mucho, buenos amigos, buenos tiempos y mucho amor. Quizás mi tiempo fue corto no lo alarguen con más tristeza, eleven sus corazones y compartan conmigo. Dios me ha llamado y me ha liberado.
