Poem for David

Created by Dave and Jane 7 years ago
  • I'm Free
    Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
    I'm following the path Jesus laid for me
    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 undone must stay that way
    I found that place at the 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 the sunshine of tomorrow
    My life's been full, I savoured much
    Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch

    Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
    Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
    Lift up your heart and share with me
    Jesus wants me now, He set me free.
