LOVE LEAVES A MEMORY

                                      Those we love don't go away,
                                         They beside us everyday, 
                                  Unseen, unheard, but always near,
                                 Still loved, still missed and very dear, 

                                      For death leaves a heartache
                                               No one can heal,
                                         A love leaves a memory
                                              No one can steal.

                                      GOD WILL BE WITH YOU


                                    God will be with you today.
                            As you open your eyes to a new day,
                             He'll light up the sky with sunshine
                                     to remind you how much
                                               He loves you.

                       He'll be your strength through every hour.
                               He'll bring you many warm smiles
                    and unexpected pleasures throughout the day.
                                   His love will keep you warm
                                  and shelter you from all harm.

                                   God will be with you tonight.
                           As you close your weary eyes in sleep,
                                 He'll light up the sky with stars
                                       to remind you that He's
                                         always there for you.

                               He'll watch over you as you sleep,
                                 touching your soul with a peace
                               that could only come from heaven,
                       and filling your dreams with a spark of hope
                         that will remain with you when you awake.

                                    God will be with you tomorrow.
                                          He'll be with you always.
                                   And every day, he'll remind you,
                                          in many different ways,
                                       that he's your eternal light.

POEM

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 him 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, and move on.
