The Choice is up to You

This reading was included in a Sympathy Card sent by Delores Thornsbery in my Sunday School Class and I wanted to share it.



You can shed tears because she is gone,
OR you can smile because she lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back,
OR you can open your eyes and see all that she has left.
You can be empty because you cannot 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 is gone,
OR you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry, close your mind, be empty and turn your back,
OR you can do what she would want;
Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
