Extracts from the poem ‘ He Is Gone’ by David Hawkins You can shed tears that he is gone Or you can smile because he has lived You can close your eyes and hope that he will come back Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him Or you can be full of the life that he shared …. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back Or you can do what he would want: Smile, open your eyes, live and go on ❣️
