          I'M FREE         

To My Family and Friends

For this day in 2006

I’m still with you Kandace

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 left undone must stay that way.

I found peace at the close of day.

Now 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, my loved ones touch.

I know 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. 

With forever love from Kandace

I Hear The Whisper

 

When God calls my name from Heaven I will be filled with excitement.

I will say to you, I love you; I will wait for you with delightment.

And I will run to My God, I will fall at His feet to soak in His love.

I will whisper to you, ‘I will pray for you’ from Heaven above.

But when my loved ones are called I say ‘please stay and fight’

‘I will miss you, my heart will break and life will not be right’

‘I want to pray for God to ease your pain and make you strong.’

I want you to know this isn’t selfishness, this isn’t wrong.

We are given life by our God and we want all He has to give.

Our loved ones are parts of Him; He leaves for us to share and to live.

But we just don’t understand on this earth is only the first birth.

The best is in Heaven with Him not here on this earth.

My heart hurts for I miss my loved one and the hurt I can not control.

But I will not shout at my loved one for Heaven’s gain of their soul.

I will not envy the time my loved one has now

and what God will unfold.

I have my faith, my love of God,

the vision of His Face I long to behold.

I thank God for the time, the memories of my loved one I will enjoy.

I will strive to be what God desires me to work for, to employ.

Per the Grace of God,

He gave me the time and love of this one to hold.

And only God will know when He will call my name, I will not be told.

Now I will stand up straight,

praise God for the extra time and His Grace.

For one day He will also call my name and I will see His face.

Know that He holds our loved ones strong next to His Heart.

Our pain of the loss can not be compared to the depth of His part.

Love always,

Karen Laberdee, 040206
