My Parting Gifts

Do not wonder why
I didn't say goodbye
Remember these three
Gifts left by me
Always give of yourself
Do not leave good deeds on a shelf
Don't be afraid to love
It's what the best things in life are made of
Don't dwell to much on yesterday
Learn from it and be on your way
These things I give to you
I hope you will give them too
