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 that place at the close of day. 
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, 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 time seemed all too brief; 
don't lengthen it now with undue grief. 
Lift up your heart and share it with me; 
God wanted me now, he set me free.
