She Is Gone You can shed tears she is gone Or you can smile because she had lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her Or you can be full of love that you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday Or you can be happy 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 mom would have wanted. SMILE, OPEN YOUR EYES, LOVE AND GO ON......
