Don't grieve for me; for now I'm free, I'm following the path God layed for me, I took his lead when I heard Him call, I turned back and then left it all,

I could not stay another day, To purr, to love, to work, or play, Events uncompleted must stay that way, I'm found at peace at the close of the day.

If my parting left a void, then fill it with remembered joy, A friendship shared, a purr, 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 one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief, Lift up your heart and share with me; God wanted me now, he set me free.
