“You can shed tears that I am gone

Or you can smile because I have lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that I will come back

Or you can open your eyes and see all that I have left.

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see me

Or you can be full of the love we shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember me and only that I am gone

Or you can cherish my memory and let me live on.

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

Or you can do what I would want, smile, open your eyes, love and go on”
