I'm Free

I just found out that Mrs. Coughlin died today. You and Hope had her for 5th grade and you both LOVED her. Maybe you've seen her up there already. What a lovely thought.
   Anyway, someone posted this poem on her Facebook page:

I'm Free
by Shannon Lee Moseley

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God had chosen 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.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Oh yes, these things, I too will miss
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
Look for the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seems all too brief;
Don't lengthen your pain with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and peace to thee,
God wanted me-He set me free.
