When I die
(…or stuggle, am in pain, or feel lost)
If you need to weep
Cry for someone
Walking the street beside you.
And when you need me
Put your arms around others
And give them what you need to give me.
You can love me most by letting
Hands touch hands, and
Souls touch souls.
You can love me most by
Sharing your Simchas (goodness) and
Multiplying your Mitzvot (acts of kindness).
You can love me most by
Letting me live in your eyes
And not on your mind.
And when you say Kaddish (prayer) for me
Remember what our Torah teaches,
Love doesn’t die
People do.
So when all that’s left of me is love
Give me away.
