Don't Grieve for Me
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, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at close of the day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembering joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
All these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with time of sorrow
I wish you for the 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 heart and share with me
God wanted me now, He has set me free.
