You can shed tears that he is gone, or you
can smile because he has lived. You can
close your eyes and pray that he'll come
back, or you can open your eyes and
see he has left. Your heart can be empty
because you can't see him, or you can be
full of the love 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 and
only that he's gone, or you can cherish his
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'd want,
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
