"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 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,shall 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 with me God wanted me now, He's set me free.
(poem by Anne Lindgren Davison)
No matter how brief it may seem
Each Life is purposed by God!
May we use our days to accomplish that purpose.
When He welcomes us Home, May He say,
"Well done, thy good and faithful servant."
We pause to honor their lives and their memory. Please share a note of remembrance for those who live on in our hearts and memories. (Click on name,click response, write your message, click post...can be edited at will.) Thank you. Judy
