Later today, when the shadows come
Talk to me, though I have gone
Write notes and letters if you must
Share your fears, your hopes, your trust
Keep those photos of me on the wall
And ask for help when trouble calls
Keep up with nothings, keep up with friends
Finish the unfinished; tie up loose ends
Still, remember me on special days
Yet don't forget my mundane ways
Devour those things we used to share
Take time for yourself, though I'm not there
Will you take me with you, near and far
And keep me proud of who you are
And when trials and triumphs come your way
Remember me, later today
