“Guardian Angel” by Scorey
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 could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play
Tasks left undone must stay that way, I’ve 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 life’s been full, I’ve savored much, Good friends, good times, my loved one’s touch
If my time seemed all too brief, Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your heart, rejoice with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.
The family wishes to extend their heartfelt appreciation for your kind expressions of love, words of encouragement, thoughtfulness, services rendered beyond the call of duty and the joy you’ve shown to enlighten our hearts during this time of bereavement.
