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 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 you can do what he'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Thank you for 48 wonderful years you handsome hunk. You may be gone but will never, ever be forgotten.
