The Final Flight / I Am Free

Don’t grieve for me for now I am free,
I’m following the path that God laid for me.
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, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I’ve found the peace at the end of the 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 surely will be missed.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I prayed for your joy to come on tomorrow.
My life was full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart, celebrate with me,
God wanted me now, he set me free.

I am ready to create my keepsake

Irish Blessing 1

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put his arms around you, and whispered, “Come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we love you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands rest. […]
