  When I die

  give what’s left of me away

  to children

  and old men that wait to die.

  And if you need to cry,

  cry for your brother

  walking the street beside you.

  And when you need me,

  put your arms

  around anyone

  and give them

  what you need to give to me.

  I want to leave you something,

  something better

  than words

  or sounds.

  Look for me

  in the people I’ve known

  or loved,

  and if you cannot give me away,

  at least let me live on your eyes

  and not on your mind.

  You can love me most

  by letting

  hands touch hands,

  by letting

  bodies touch bodies,

  and by letting go

  of children

  that need to be free.

  Love doesn’t die,

  people do.

  So, when all that’s left of me

  is love,

  give me away.

  I’ll see you at home

  in the earth
