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 way. 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, 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 share with me

God wanted me now:

He set me free.
