I’ve finished life’s chores assigned to me, so put me on a boat headed out to sea. Please send along my fishing pole for I’ve been invited to the fishin’ hole. Where every day is a day to fish, to fill your heart with every wish. Don’t worry, or feel sad for me, I’m fishin’ with the Master of the sea. We will miss each other for awhile, but you will come and bring your smile. That won’t be long you will see, till we’re together you and me. To all of those that think of me, be happy as I go out to sea. If others wonder why I’m missin’ just tell ’em I’ve gone fishin’ ~ Dalmar Pepper

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 ~ David Harkins
