You can shed tears that she is gone, or you can smile because she has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back, or you can open
your eyes and see all she’s left .You can turn your back on tomorrow and
live in yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow Because of yesterday
You can remember her only that she is gone, or you can cherish her memory
and let it live on You can close your mind, be empty and turn your back or
you can do what she’d want:
“Smile, open your eyes and love and go on.”
