You Can

YOU CAN

You can shed tears that he or she is gone,

Or you can smile because he or she lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that he or she will come back,

Or you can open your eyes and see all that he or she has left.

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him,

Or you can be full of the love that you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,

 Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember him or her and remember ONLY that he or she is gone,

Or you can cherish his or her memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,

OR you can do what he or she would want……….

              

SMILE, open your eyes,

LOVE and go on.
