To Cope with Grief

To Cope with Grief

After I die, here is a plan
to aid you in managing grief
Upon reading this, place a ban
In your minds, make thoughts of me brief

Burn every word ever I wrote
Let not the future's children know
Wrap my memory in death's coat
Forgo my views to the wind's blow

For all of us emerge as aught
Humans are not timeless as stone
Timelessness by no one is bought
Dust becomes of spirit and bone

But if you must reminisce, remember the bad times only
Remember not feeling bliss, so your heart cannot be lonely
