Give What's Left Of Me Away

Now that I'm gone,
    remember me with a smile and laughter.
And if you need to cry,
    cry with your brother or sister
Who walks in grief beside you.

And when you need me,
    put your arms around anyone
        and give to them
        what you need to give to me.

There are so many
    who need so much.
I want to leave you something.
Something much better
    than words or sounds.

Look for me
     in the people
I've known and loved or helped
    in some special way.
Let me live in your heart
    as well as your mind.


You can love me most
    by letting your love
        reach out to our loved ones.
By embracing them
    and living in their love.


Love does not die,
    people do.
So, when all that's left of me is love,
        give me away as best you can
