A Better You

Do not shed a tear because they are gone.
Smile because they were here.
Loss is a fickle beast.
You have a choice when left alone.
You can carry the weight of a lonely walk.
Or you can skip with the memories of all they shared.
You can trudge through each day in isolation.
Or you can greet each morning with a chance to share what they gave you.
You can crawl into bed in silent solitude each night.
Or you can sleep soundly knowing you've got an angel watching over you.

Be a better you for having been touched by them.
