You can shed tears that she is gone,
Or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray she will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all she has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
Or you can be full of the love 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 has 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.
Poem by David Harkins
How proud she would have been to see the six of us standing together reading this verse by verse as a tribute to her. All the way to the moon and back Saskia. Forever yours, Mum xxxx
