23rd Psalm

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want,

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul;

He leadeth me on the paths of righteousness

For His name’s sake,

Yea, though I walk through the valley

Of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil;

For Thou art with me;

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me

In the presence of mine enemies;

Thou anointest my head with oil;

My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

All the days of my life and I will dwell

In the house of the Lord forever.

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.
