I Want You To Smile

You can shed tears that I am gone,

Or you can smile because I lived,

You can close your eyes and pray that I will come back,

Or you can open your eyes and see all that I have left.

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see me,

Or you can be full of the love that you shared,

You can turn your back on tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember me and only that I am gone,

Or you can cherish my memory and let it live on,

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,

Or you can do what I would want:

smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
