WE ARE FREE 
Don't grieve for us, for now we're free. We are following the path God has
laid you see. We took His hand when we heard Him call. We turned our backs and left it
all.
We could not stay another day. To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must
stay that way. We found that peace at the close of the day.
If our parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a
laugh, a kiss. Oh yes, these things we too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow. We wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. Our lives have
been full, we savored much. Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps our time seemed all too brief... don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up
your hearts and peace to thee.
God wanted us; he set us free!

THE TWO BOXES I have in my hands two boxes Which God gave me to hold He said,"Put all your sorrows in the black, And all your joys in the gold." I heeded his words, and in the two boxes Both my joys and sorrows I store But though the gold became heavier each day The black was as light as before With curiosity, I opened the black I wanted to find out why And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole Which my sorrows had fallen out by I showed the hole to God, and mused aloud, "I wonder where my sorrows could be." He smiled a gentle smile at me. "My child, they're all here with me." I asked,"God, why give me the boxes, "Why the gold, and the black with the hole?" "My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, the black is for you to let go."
