Often a poem from a deceased grandparent and parent to those who mourn can give comfort reminding their grandchildren and children how they wish them to react to their loved one’s death…not to be sad but to celebrate life.
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 him call
