He is Gone- David Harkins
He is Gone
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 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 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's want:
Smile, open your eyes, love, and go on.
