I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me now I’m free
I’ve followed 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
Work left undone must stay that way.
I found God’s peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void
Please fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Are things that will be missed.
Do not be burdened with grief and 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.
Perhaps my timed seemed all to brief.
Don’t be weighed down with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and rejoice with me
God wanted me now…He set me free.

A wife, a mother, a grandma too,
This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a wife not just as a mother.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts, we’ll eternally keep.
