I am Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following paths that were made for me,
I took your hand and heard you call
Then turned and bid farewell to all
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to sing, to play
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found my peace... at close of play
And if my parting 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...deep with sorrow
I wish you sunshine of tomorrow
My life's been full, I've savoured much
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with grief
Lift up your hearts and share with me
My time has come and I am free.
