Dont Grieve for me now I'm free
I'm following the path god laid for me
I took his hand when I heard him call
Turned my back and left it all
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play
Task left undone must stay that way
I found that 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
Ahh yes these things I too will miss
Be not burnded with time of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
My lifes been full I've savoured much
Good friends Good times A loved ones touch
Prehaps my time seemed all to brief
Dont lengthen it now in grief
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me He set me free
I'd send you the sea
If leaves where hugs
I'd give you a forest
If night was love
I'd give you the stars
But I can't send you my heart
Cause thats where you are
When I am gone, release me,let me go
I have so many things to see and do
you mustn't tie yourself to me with tears,
be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love,you can only guess,
how much you gave me happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
but now it is time I travel alone.
So grieve a while for if grieve you must,
then let your grief be, comforted by trust.
Its only for a while that we must part,
so bless the memories within your heart.
I wont be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call me and I will come
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, your hear,
all of my love around you, soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way home,
I'll greet you with a smile, and say
"WELCOME HOME"
I have a face I put I place
its what I wear when folks are there
for those only who want to see
the way they think I ought to be
I live in times that have no light
Just cloudly days Endless nights
I no longer see the sun
I laugh but never feel the fun
When I rise to start the day
I stumble as I make my way
I dont know who I really am
I'm not the one I used ot be
I have no heart to fill with joy
I lost it when I lost my girl
The future is so bleak to me
I chose not to let others see
So when the peole stop and ask
I hide behind my smiling mask
You dont know how I feel, please dont tell me you do
There is only one way to know .. Have you lost a child too?
"You'll have another child" Must I hear this everyday?
Can I get another Mother, too if mine should pass away?
Dont say it was "Gods Will",
Would God on purpose brake my heart and watch as my tears flow?
"You have an angel in heaven, a precious child above"
But tell me to whom on earth am I to give this love?
"Aren't you better yet" Is that what I heard you say?
NO! My heart is broken, I'll always feel some pain
You think that silence is kind, But it hurts even more.
I want to talk about my child who has gone through deaths door
Dont say these things to me, They do not take the pain away
I must go thru this hell.
I will get better slow but sure, and it helps to have you near.
But a simple, "I'm sorry you lost your child"
is all I need to hear.
