Before I go
Please take from me
All the feelings
That you need
Don't hold back
For there's nothing left of me
Take what you need
Before I go.
Here's some light
When you can't find the way
Take some hope
When you bend your knee
to pray
Take some time
all the time you need
To make up for my leaving
Be brave
unlike me
Do what's right
And not what's
Easy
Stand for those
Who fear to fall
Be better than me
Please. take it all
Give until
you are but a shell
Let those who live
Remember you well
Take from me
So some small part
Remains
May you live
Many more years
By living strong
Without fear.
