Remembrance

Richard Gene Kirk 12/25/1988-7/9/2008

Remembrance

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'll come back,
or you can open your eyes
and see all he has left.
Your heart can be empty 
because you can't see him,
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 him
and only that he's 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'd want:

Smile, open your eyes, 
love, and go on.

July 9 has rolled around again. Six years have gone by without you, Richard. We feel your loss most today and your birthday, but really we never forget that there's a hole where you should be. I miss you so much and love you even more. Til I see you again, brother.
