Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free!
I follow the plan God laid for me.
I saw His face, I heard his call,
I took His hand and left it all…
I could not stay another day,
To love, to laugh, to work or play;
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
And 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.
My life’s been full, I’ve savored much:
Good times, good friends, a loved-one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief-
Don’t shorten yours with undue grief.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow, enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.
