I am following the path God laid out for me. I took his hand when I heard him call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stain another day- to laugh, love, work or to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. If my parting has left a void then fill it with remembered Joy a friendship shared a laugh or a kiss. These things I too will miss. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me for God wanted you to know he set me free.”
