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 peace at the close of the day.

 If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh or kiss.

Ah, yes, 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

A loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my times 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 set me free.

Farewell my loving wife and family.

We will meet again.

Dad, you are loved and missed so very much. I will see you soon.   Starr~
