Don'T Cry Because It's Over - Dr Seuss Quote Contest

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened
memories will save the precious times.
Don't weep because we are no longer together
focus on the many times we were.

Remember the hills of life we climbed together
both searching for what we didn't have.
Not realising it was here within us
too stupid to see what might have been.

Don't cry because you no longer see me
open your eyes see what the future brings.
Remember our time and learn from it
mistakes are made yet you emerge with strength.

Don't cry because it's over
another page of life’s book will soon begin.
Smile because it happened
remember, but store your memories away.

This is beautiful Seren. Lighthearted advice from one who wields a pen with a heart of beauty and a mind so wise. Did I somehow rhyme? Seems the occasion calls for it. A 7. hugs!
