Amos Alston

In loving Memory of Amos Alston
On Monday morning, God Looked around in his beautiful flower garden and found an

spot in wonderful flower garden. For God only takes the best.

I'M FREE"
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've found that 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 for you the sunshine of tomorrow My life's been full, I've savored much,
Good friends, good times, my loved one's touch If my time seemed all too brief, Don't
lengthen it now with undue grief Lift up your heart, rejoice with me, God wanted me now,
He set me free.
