I have two that have helped me:
You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she lived.
You can close your eyes
and pray that she'll come back,
or you can
open your eyes
and see all she's 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's 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'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
This is the one I put in my Mom's funeral booklet:
God saw you were getting tired,
And a cure was not to be,
So He put his arms around you,
And whispered, "Come to me".
With tearful eyes I watched you,
And saw you pass away,
And though I loved you dearly,
I could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands were brought to rest.
God broke my heart to prove to me,
He only takes the best.
