Robert M Burcham - 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 away.
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,
ah, 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, Iv e savored much,
good friends, good times,
a loved one s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
don t lenghten it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me
God wanted me now:
He set me free.

Robert M Burcham
