     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 his 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 the close of day. 

     If my parting has left a void then fill it with remembered joy.  A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; as 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 savored much, good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.  Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; don't lengthen it now with undo grief.  Lift up your heart & share with me.  God wanted me now, He set me free!
