I Am Free

Author: Unknown

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following paths God made for me I took his hand, I heard him call Then turned, and bid farewell to all

I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to sing, to play Tasks left undone must stay that way I found my peace … at close of play

And if my parting 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… deep with sorrow I wish you sunshine of tomorrow My life's been full I've savoured 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 peace to thee God wanted me now He set me free.
