I'm Free

I found this poem at one of the customers at my uncle's printing shop in Recto. It caught my attention obviously because it deals with death ( in a nice way ). JUNE 19,2008...

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 to play,

Task left undone must stay that way,

I found that place at the close of the 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 savored much,

Good friends, good times a love 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 set me free.
