I AM FREE WRITTEN IN HIS HONOR BY ANELDA ATTAWAY
I Am Free but in a Different Place
And though we seem Far Apart
I’m Closer to you than I Ever Been,
I’m there Inside your Heart.
My illness was a Battle that I Couldn't Continue to Fight
So I went home with my Lord and Savior
Into the Glorious Light.
Think of me as One at Rest,
And for me, you Should Not Weep
Because I have No More Suffering, No more Pain
For I am Free and at Peace.
Though you can't See or Touch me, I still will be Near.
And When you Feel Sad,
Smile and Remember that I was Here.
Remember all the things I Loved to Do
Like being in Church, Singing, in My Studio, a Photographer, An illustrator of Children’s Books, A Book Cover Designer, and Driving my Cadillac,
to name a few.
Now, If your Heart is Heavy
because I've Gone Away
Just know that you were Dearly Loved
However, I could Not Stay.
I heard the Lord Call for me to take me to my Heavenly Home.
Nevertheless, I will always be with you
And You'll Never Be Alone.
For It's Only for a Little While
That we will be Apart.
So Treasure the Memories that We've Shared
Deep within your Heart.
Please know that I will Miss you,
As the years Come and Go,
But I'll always Keep you Close to me
Because I Loved You So.
On December 11, 2024
God kindly Stopped for me.
He gave me my Wings
And Now I'm Happy
Because I Am Free.
