The Loss of a Mother
Now that I am gone,
remember me with smiles and laughter.
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.
Lolok for me in the people I've known
or helped in some special way.
Let me live in your heart as well as in 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.
