Give Me Away

1

When I die if you need to weepCry for your brother or sisterWalking the street beside youAnd when you need me putyour arms around anyoneand give them what you need to give me. I want to leave you somethingSomething better than words or sounds. Look for me in the people I’ve known or lovedAnd if you cannot give me You can love me most byletting hands touch handsBy letting bodies touch bodiesAnd by letting go of childrenthat need to be free. Love doesn’t die, people doSo when all that’s left of me is loveGive me away. —Author unknown
