I found this poem and it spoke to me.
My uncle just passed away. This poem
was read at his funeral.
----------
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 will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow!
My life has 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 set me free!!
