I'M FREE
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 SHALL MISS.
BE NOT BURDENED WITH TIMES OF SORROW;
I WISH YOU 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...........
