To those of us who are left behind

To those of us who are left behind...

We can shed tears that he has gone; or
We can smile because he has lived.

We can close our eyes and pray that he'll come back; or
We can open our eyes and see all he has done.

Our heart can be empty because we can't see him; or
We can be full of the love we shared.

We can turn our back on tommorrow and live for yesterday; or
We can be happy for tommorrow because of yesterday.

We can remember him and think only that he has gone; or
We can cherish his memory and let it live on.

We can cry and close our mind, be empty and turn our back; or
We can do what he'd want us to do, open our eyes, love, and go on.
