I'm Free

I was just looking through old files on my computer and found this poem. I had to share it with all of you. I know some that were really close to my mom are still struggling with her death and I know I still have my hard days. Maybe this poem can give you some comfort. It sure seemed to speak to me because it's truly how my mom would want us to be and remember her.

I'm Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.

I'm following the path that God has laid, you see.

I took his hand when I heard his 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 peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joys.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,

Oh 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 loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and peace be to thee.

God wanted me now;

He set me free!
