Notes About The Poem

These are just simple words to help those after I leave. I know there wont be many but I want to make sure they don't grieve because I will see them again.

This Should Help

Upon the beginning 
Of my death 
Soon after the close 
Of my last breath 
Don’t query
Ponder or ask why 
Or even dwell 
That this is the last goodbye 
Its not important 
That this is the end 
But simply 
Were you there in the now and then?
Were you with me 
In the places I had been?
Did you care about me? 
As I did you?
If so, then you’re among the few 
That I loved and knew
The ones that carried me through 
Fear not my friend 
This is truly not the end 
Know in my passing 
It’s my Love for you I send 
To ease your sorrow and help you mend
As I wait for us to be together again
