Hope Laughlin
April 30, 1927 to December 2, 2009
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 His call
I turned my back and left it all
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play
Task left undone must stay that way
I found 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 savoured much
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch
Perhaps my time seemed all to 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
Forever in our hearts and memories, your family.
