I'm Free

Don't grieve for me now, I'm free
I followed the path life had for me
I fought the battle with all my might
I would never leave here without a fight

I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I've found that peace at close of day

If 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've savored 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 hearts and share with me
Celebrate my life because now I'm free

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the love I have received from everyone. A very, very special thank you to Shelley who took time out of her life to stay with me and be an unbelievable support, to Cindy who made sure the sisterhood stayed alive and to my Mom who loves me so much. This is where I got all my strength.

You are sunshine and that's why you are so loved. One day soon you'll shine again when you're better able to concentrate on the happy days with David.

I love you more than you could ever imagine and I hope your healing can begin soon.
