You can shed tears that Ivor is gone
Or you can SMILE because Ivor has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that Ivor will come back
Or you can OPEN YOUR EYES and see all that Ivor has left
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see Ivor
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 Ivor and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish Ivor's memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what Ivor would want: SMILE, OPEN YOUR EYES, LOVE, and GO ON.
