You Can Shed Tears by David Harkins



You can shed tears that they've gone,
Or you can smile because they have lived.

You can close your eyes and pray they'll come back,
Or you can open you eyes and see all they have left you.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see them,
Or your heart can be full of the love you've shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember them and only that they've gone,
Or you can cherish their memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind,
Be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what they'd want;
Smile, open your eyes, love and journey on.

David Harkins
