Husband Pappy Daddy David Ellis Foster Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following the path God laid you see. I took His hand when I heard His 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 found the peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joys- A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Oh, yes, these things I too will miss. But 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 hearts, and peace to thee- God wanted me now; He set me free.
