I just received this beautiful, meaningful POEM at my friends fathers wake/funeral
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. Or you can open your eyes and see all he's 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 can do what he'd want: SMILE, open your eys, love and live on. To all of you my friends...my thoughts & prayers for you and your loved ones..ALWAYS. Posted on 03/13/07, 11:03 pm |
