 I'm Free

Don't grieve for me,

For now I'm free.

I'm following the path

God had laid you see.

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.

If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it wtih remembered joys,

A friendship shared, a laugh,

A kiss, Oh yes these things

I, too will miss.

Perhaps, my time semed all to brief.

Don't lengthen it now

with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.

God wanted me now;

He set me free.

Now he is free to be with

 the late Ms Goldie Carter of Bayshore, New York who died 2006.

She was his foster mother and

caretaker for over 30 years.

Thank you "Peach Momma"

he missed you and now he will never leave you in Heaven.
