I'm Free.

This is a poem that was on the back of my Uncle Tyler's memorial pamphlet and I thought I would share. It devastated me to have lost so many people in such a short span of time, but this little poem did make my heart feel a little less heavy.

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 and 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 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 sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I've 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 share with me
Don't worry now, at last, I'm free.

I'm hardly a religious person, but this does make me feel a little better.
