You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived
You can close your eyes and pray she’ll come back or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her 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 her and only that she’s gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she’d want - smile, open your eyes, love and go on

If I should go before the rest of you
Break not a flower or inscribe a stone,
Nor when I’m gone speak in a Sunday voice
But be the usual selves that I have known.
Weep if you must,
Parting is hell,
But life goes on
So, sing as well
