Living Will
I have eyes that I may see
the wonders of the world all around me.
I have strong bones that hold others' hands.
My muscles do what my mind commands.
My heart beats strong, pumping good blood through my veins.
My lungs are clear, and I have a smart brain.
But if a crisis comes along and I am taken from this life.
I wish it made known, now and then,
how I can relieve another's strife.
Let them see their "first" sunrise.
- I will gladly give my eyes.
And when a loved one comes near
- give them strength to hug those so dear.
Extend the lives of those who are young.
- keep them breathing using my lungs.
I have lived and loved, now with my last breath,
I ask you to keep my heart beating after death.
Don't let it be said, "she's lived a good life"
until I have relieved anothers strife.
I have my donors' card, please see my wishes done.
Make my one life count for something...
- Keep other lives "living" on.
