A poem for Susie

A day in a life, one that was caring, loving, free
Although you long for more than memories
There is a light, look and see
Make the choice and Live Like Susie

Today is the day; be caring, loving and free
Dance in the rain
Love with all your heart
Comfort someone who is hurting
Show the world how you Live Like Susie

Today is yours; make the choice
Love who you already know
Love those you haven’t met yet
Be happy, it’s contagious
Spread your smile
Tell a joke and let your laughter ring
Make the change, Live Like Susie

Smile today
Smile regardless of your sadness
Smile even though you want her next to you

Smile because she never left
She lives on in every person who made the choice
To Live Like Susie
