One V.O.G.'s Thoughts for the Day

When All That’s Left Is Love

Jan 212015

When I die
If you need to weep
Cry for someone walking the street beside you.

You can love me most
by letting hands touch hands,
and Souls touch souls.

You can love me most by
Sharing your Simchas (good fortune) and
Multiplying your Mitzvot (good deeds).

You can love me most by
Letting me live in your eyes
And not on your mind.

And when you say Kaddish (prayers) for me
Remember what our Torah teaches:
Love doesn’t die
People do.

So when all that’s left of me is love
Give me away.

— Rabbi Allen S. Maller
