He Is Gone
~ by David Harkins ~
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 will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that 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 is 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 would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

"We are so terribly sad over your loss. Blessings upon Roger and you Gayle, for your tender care. He had a difficult death which we know was so hard to watch while you cared so lovingly for him. I know Roger brought light and love into your life. He will be missed."
