This was given to me by my cousin Link Lamkins on 1-8-88 
and I would like to pass it on to special people in my life. 
 
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 them
What you need to give to 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 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 me away

Link I am giving you away. 
I hope every one who gets this passes it to every one they know, 
and you will always be living in our eyes and hearts. 
I love you,
