DEDICATED TO CHRISTOPHER MORRISON
I'm Free
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 couldn't not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at the close of the 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 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 heart and share with me
God wanted me now. He set me free.

God's Lent Child
"I'll lend you for a little while
A child of mine," God said;
"For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead."
"It may be one or two years,
Or forty-two or three.
But will you, till I call him back.
Take care of him for me?"
"He'll bring his charms to gladden you;
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As a solace for your grief."
"I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return;
But the lessons taught in earthly realm
I want this child to learn."
"I've looked the whole world over
In searth of teachers true;
And from the ones that crowd life's lane,
I have chosen you."
"Will you give him all your tender care,
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to take
This lent child back again?"
And father then and mother said,
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For joys Thy child will bring,
The risk of grief we'll run."
"We'll shelter him with tenderness;
We'll love him while we may;
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay."
"But should Thy angels call for him
Much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the grief that comes to us
And try to understand."
