poem at funeral on the Chase

[white_rose]

Can anyone tell me where I can find a copy of the poem read at the funeral on The Chase last week. I can`t remember how it starts exactly but it is something like, `You can close up your heart`

[moonshadow]

It was written for the Queen Mum and read out at her funeral and goes like this:-
You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all she 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 would want
Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Thanks very much Moonshadow. Now I can`t see the keyboard. I think it`s very comforting.

Sometimes it's hard to find the right words to say.I sent it to a friend recently and he found it comforting and had it read out at his wifes funeral.

Just copy and paste it to a word document and print it from there.
