You can shed tears that he is gone
Adapted from a poem by David Harkins
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 all that he's left.
You 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 for yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is 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.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
