My wife and the incredible woman who completed me died on August 27. I am so blessed to have loved and been loved in a manner I never dreamed possible. I will miss you for the rest of my life Pam Bartlett.
When I die
Give what’s left of me away
To children
And old men who want 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 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 can’t give me away,
At least let me live on in your eyes
And not in 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 it away.
