*
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.

To laugh often
and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of
false friends; to appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better, whether
by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to
know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This
is the meaning of success.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
