in memoriam

Sent along by an internet friend in the UK:

Posted on a friends forum for a single father of 3 children who died this week from cancer aged 56.

Tears or smiles......

-------------------------

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 will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he 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 and 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 would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
