Epitaph by Merrit Malloy [Poetry]

Epitaphby Merrit Malloy Original Language EnglishWhen I dieGive what's left of me awayTo childrenAnd old men that wait to die.And if you need to cry,Cry for your brotherWalking the street beside you.And when you need me,Put your armsAround anyoneAnd give themWhat you need to give to me.I want to leave you something,Something betterThan wordsOr Sounds.Look for meIn the people I've knownOr loved,And if you cannot give me away,At least let me live on your eyesAnd not on your mind.You can love me mostBy lettinghands touch hands,By lettingBodies touch bodies,And by letting goOf childrenThat need to be free.Love doesn't die,People do.So, when all that's left of meIs love,Give me away.
