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 to 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 cannot give me away,
At least let me live in 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.
Until we meet again, bye bye bye-bye.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Norma Velda
Crockett 2021..
