Eulogy - Sam Payne

William Has Moved On


You can shed a tear that Will has gone

Or you could smile because Will has lived

You can close your eyes and hope that Will would come back

Or you can open your eyes and see all that Will has left

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see Will now

Or you can be full of the love that you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live as yesterday

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of Wills’ yesterday

You can remember Will and only that he has left us

Or you can cherish Wills’ memories and let him live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back

Or you can do what William would have wanted:

smile,

open your eyes,

be kind,

and love one another and live on.
