Silence Speaks Louder Than Words

When I am dead
You will read what I have left behind
My Last Testament has never changed
You, my children are to find

I leave you everything of value
Since that's all you need
My ashes are to be spread about
So it's me every time you breathe

Any money goes to my children
Adopted and biological too
My love was worth a fortune
But it wasn't worth enough for you

Tomorrow, in a month
Maybe ten or forty years
The silence I have now from you
Will bring down your tears
