I'm Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God has laid you see.
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, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found the peace at the close of the 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.

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 ones touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.
Don't lengthen it now with undo grief.
Lift your hearts and peace to thee.
God wanted me now; He set me free!

"Forever in Our Hearts"
Our beloved Ryan was taken for us as a result of a drunken driver.

Ryan...
You are dearly loved, and sadly missed by all your family and friends.


"When God Calls Little Children"

When God calls little children to dwell with Him above,
We mortals always question the wisdom of his love.
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child,
Who does so much to make this world seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires always calling the aged to His fold,
And so He picks a rosebud before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them and takes so very few,
To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult but somehow we must try,
The saddest word that man can know will always be "Goodbye."
And so when little ones depart, we who are left behind,
Must realize how much God loves them, for Angels are hard to find.
