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 left 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 time, 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.
