Read by Marty Bird
To everyone here who has gathered to celebrate the life of Michael Bird, may we carry a memory in our heart for the beautiful life he lived, for the happiness he brought to those around him and for the love he gave to his family and friends. He was a very special person who may be gone from this earth but he will live on forever in our hearts. We love you Mike Bird. Here is a poem Laura found for Dad:
You can shed tears that he is gone
Or you can smile because he lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all he's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love 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 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'd want:
Smile, Open Your Eyes, Love, Laugh, and Go On.
