- Program Note from publisher
Your heart can be empty because you cannot see them
Or you can be full of the love that they showed for you
You can remember them and only that they are gone
Or you can cherish their memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn you back,
Or you can do what they would want, smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
