Dad, we love you and will miss you forever. Love, your Monkeybutts.
I Am Free
Don’t grieve for me, for now
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 love, to laugh, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must
stay that way, for I found
peace at close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
then fill it with remembering joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with hearts of sorrow.
I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I’ve 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 wants me now
--- He’s set me free.
