Recently attended a wake for a fellow church parishioner. I thought this poem printed on an insert was appropriate for those undergoing the loss of a loved one. (No author was identified that I could see/notice.)
"He is Gone:
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
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."
