Wendy Bamford 3rd March 2010

I found this poem and it made me think of Mikey...my cousin... whose smile will live in my mind forever. 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 his 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 the peace at the close of 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. My deepest sympathies to eveyone who's life Mikey touched. Wendy Byrd Bamford
