Don't grieve for me for now I am free, I'm following the plan 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. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with a remembered joy of a friendship shared, a laugh a kiss, and yet 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 and a loved one's touch. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.
