Thomas Emery

In loving memory of my beloved father Thomas W. Emery who passed away three years ago today September 11, 2010

I can shed tears

That you are gone,

Or I can smile because you lived,

I can close my eyes and pray that you will come back,

Or I can open my eyes and see all that you have left me,

My heart could be emptybecause I can’t see you,

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

I can turn my back on tomorrow and live yesterday,

Or I can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

I can remember you and only that you are gone,

Or I can cherish your memory and let it live on,

I can cry and close my mind, be empty and turn my back,

Or I can do what you would want; smile, open my eyes, love and go on with you always in my heart.
