Thoughts
Remembering
We can shed a tear because they have gone;
Or we can smile because they have lived.
We can close our eyes and pray that they will come back;
Or we can open our eyes and see all that they have left.
Our heart can be empty because we can’t see them;
Or we can be full of love we’ve shared.
We can turn our back on tomorrow and live for yesterday
Or we can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
We can remember them and only that they’ve gone
Or we can cherish their memory and let it live on.
We can cry and close our minds, be empty and turn our back
Or we can do what they’d want:
Smile, open our eyes love and go on as best we can.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
