"Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God 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've now found peace at the end of the day. Perhaps my time seems all too brief; don't lengthen your pain with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, he set me free."
