Poem for Thy Living
When I am dead, cry for me a little.
Think of me sometimes, but not too
much. It is not good for you, or your
wife or your husband, or your children
to allow your thoughts to dwell too
long on the dead. Think of me now and
again as I was in life at some moment
which it is pleasant to recall.
But not too long. Leave me in peace
as I shall leave you, too, in peace.
While you live, let your thoughts
be with the living.
