Sweet lovely Lady Bex. On the day your family lay you to rest I read this poem so thought I would share it. It was read at the Queen mums funeral, so I figured if it is good enough for Royalty then it is good enough for you baby girl. xx You can shed tears that she is gone Or you can smile because she has lived You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her 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 her and only that she is gone Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. By David Harkins (1959)
