I Am Free

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God has 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 found that peace at the close of the day.
