He’s Free

by Judy Gagnon

I knew you had to go away
it was your time you see
but I didn’t take the time to face
that you were leaving me.

You weren’t afraid of dying
for you knew what lay in store
in the blinking of an eye
or the closing of a door.

You shared with us a journey
that only you could see
and helped us understand God’s way
as it was meant to be.

Life had so restricted you
your spirit is now free
to go explore the universe
for all eternity.
