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 undond must stay that way; I found my place 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, Ah yes, these things I too shall miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow; I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savoured much; Good friends, good times; a loved one's touch. Perhaps my life seemed all too brien; Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me; God wanted me now, He set me free.
