I'm Free

As some may know, my grandma jean died last february, and this was in her memorial folder. she lived a great life, even if it was cut short and i thank god that he's brought my family through the difficulty of losing her. this poem tells her story well.



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 undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
And, 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’ve savored much,
Good friends, good times,
A loved one’s touch.
Lift up your hearts and share with me
God wanted me now:
He set me free.
