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 undone must stay that way,
I 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 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.∼Ms. Connie Burrer, of Homer, Alaska, died Sunday, March 2, 2014, at her home, with her beloved family by her side. She was 53 years old.
A Celebration of life was held on Saturday afternoon on March 22, 2014, at The American Legion Post #16, in Homer.
