James Merriman,Jr. Obituary 'IM FREE' Dont grieve for me for now Im free, Im 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 could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play Tasks left undone must stay that way, Ive found that peace at the close of 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 for you the sunshine of tomorrow My lifes been full, Ive savored much, Good friends, good times, my loved ones touch If my time seemed all too brief, Dont lengthen it now with undue grief Lift up your heart, rejoice with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.
