Your Light Shines on...… think of you and miss you every day, all my love forever, Darron.
Our loved ones leave behind a light,
that will never dim or fade,
It's kept bright by the love we feel
and the memories we made.
It can warm us like a candle's glow
and help bring comfort, too.
And no matter where you go, you'll find
it's always close to you.
And in the darker times, remember
in our hearts their light is strong.
So every time we think of them
their memory shines on.

Let the storm break
Don't push it to the back of your mind
Or pretend it isn't there
Storms that are hidden become savage things
It is better to let the storm come and weep
Then to let it stay hidden and turn the heart sour and bitter
Let the storm break
All the pent up sorrow pain and despair
Bow your head and let it flow over you
And then, though your spirit feels crushed and utterly broken
After a while the impossible will happen
And you will raise your head again
Life will creep back into your numb spirit
But, best of all, the storm will have blown itself out
And once again your whole being will be free
Free and cleansed and able to live again.

He is gone.....
You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he has lived,
You can close your eyes and pray 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 love that 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 him and only that he is gone,
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on,
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, love and go on.
