DISCOVERY

Anon

Today I smiled...and all at once

Things didn't look so bad.

Today, I shared with someone else,

A little bit of hope I had.

Today I sang a little song,

And felt my heart grow light,

And walked a happy little mile,

With not a cloud in sight.

Today I worked with what I had

And longed for nothing more.

And what had seemed like only weeds,

Were flowers at my door.

Today I loved a little more

Complained a little less,

And in the giving of myself...

Forgot my weariness.

I' M FREE

Anon

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, or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way,

I found that 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 one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.

God wanted me now: He set me free.
