You can shed tears that she is gone,
Or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes
and pray that she’ll come back,
Or you can open your eyes
and see she has 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.
Weep not for me though I am gone
Into the gentle night
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my soul's sweet flight.
There is no need for tears.
I am at peace, my soul is at rest
There is no pain, I suffer not,
For with your love I was so blessed.
I am in a place of comfort
The fear now is gone.
Put those things in your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife
Please do not dwell upon my death
But celebrate my life.
