TO REMEMBER ME

The day will come when my body will lie upon a white sheet neatly tucked under four corners of a mattress located in a hospital busily occupied with the living and dying.

At a certain moment, a doctor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and that for all intents and purposes,
MY LIFE HAS STOPPED

when that happens, do not attempt to instill artificial life into my body by the use of a machine, & don't call this my DEATH BED, let it be called the BED OF LIFE & let my body be taken from it to help others lead fuller lives.

Give my sight to a man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby's face or love in the eyes of a woman.

Give my heart to a person whose own heart has been causing nothing but an endless day of pain.

Give my blood to the teenager who was pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his grandchildren PLAY.

Give my kidneys to the onewho depends on a machine to exist from week to week.

Take my bones, every muscle, every fibre and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk.

Explore every corner of my brain, take my cells, if necessary, & let them grow so that some day, a speechless boy will shout at the crack of a bat & a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her window.

Burn what is left of me & scatter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow.

If you must bury something, let it be my faults, weaknesses and all the prejudice, my dear friend.

Give my sins to the devil!
Give my SOUL to the GOD!

If by chance
you wish
TO REMEMBER ME,
do it with a kind deed or word to someone, who needs you!

IF YOU DO
ALL I HAVE ASKED
I WILL LIVE FOREVER!
