Will

Will

A Poem by Robert Fachowski
"

If something happens, anyone, pass it along.

"
Just a simple wooden box for me, 
some nice flowers for added aroma, 
and some good food. 
Simple. 
Because what's important can never be bought.
Only realized, contemplated, talked about, cried and (a must) laughed about.
It is a party, a celebration and a time wherein people are brought together.
I decree
that weeping at this time
will be limited to a maximum of  30 minutes.
However, if it doesn't feel like it is enough
hug someone. 
Don't even think about who it is.
Do this as many times as possible
until you are okay 
to smile again.
Music must be flowing through the air most of the time.
Friends may come forth and play tracks too
but only ones that have distinct associations; ones I knew.
To the fam,
despite everything,
and there was a lot in that everything,
you all have never left my heart.
The final words,
may the right be given to
3.
To my true family;
to whom I can say nothing to
because it will never be enough.
Finally, 
if anyone looks in the wooden box,
and sees anything other than a smile,
playing on my lips,
kindly open it and make the necessary changes.
Anything different would be a lie
and everyone must know the truth.
Be at peace.

I don't think I have ever come across such a light-hearted will before. I mean, in the movies, they're all serious and stuff, but yours is totally different. If ever this day comes, and people get to read this, I bet it will make them smile even amidst mourning. Number one, because even in a sad matter such as this, you joke around. Number two, when they read this, they will remember you, and the smiles and laughter you had together- not the tears they are crying as they look into the box. Number three, they will be able to feel your presence one last time, even if it's just from a piece of paper.
