A Poem

Final Instructions

to my Dear

When the day of my demise is near,
Please don’t cry but have a beer
And my strength and passion cheer!

When the day of my demise is here,
Please don’t weep — don’t waste your tear,
But wash in sunlight warm and clear!

When the day of my demise does veer
My life to newer mode quite sere,
I will be ready — with no fear.

And when that day’s already flown,
Don’t sit alone at my tombstone —
Go live your life like it’s my own!
