"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 the 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.' Call it my 'bed of life,' and let my body be taken

from it to help others lead fuller lives.

 

Give my sight to someone 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 caused nothing

but endless days of pain.

 

Give my blood to the teenager who has been 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 my prejudices against my other humans.

 

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.
