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.
And don't call this my deathbed..

Let it be called the Bed of Life,
and let my body be taken from it
to help others lead fuller lives..

Give my heart to a person
whose own heart has caused nothing
but endless days 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 one who
depends on a machine to exist
from week to week..

Take my bones, every muscle,
every fiber 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,
and let them grow so that someday
a speechless boy will shout at
the crack of a bat..

And a deaf
girl will hear the sound
of rain against her window..

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

If you must bury something,
let it be my faults, my
weaknesses, and all the
prejudice against my fellow man..

Give my sins to the devil.
Give my soul to 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...
