The Gift Of Life
My eyeless soul will clearly see the
glory of theย kingdom of Heaven.
My eyes I leave to the child in darkness..
In heaven no need for sustaining blood,
giveย mine to restore the injured in need.
My wings will carry my weightless spirit
now free of the weight of earthly organs.
My heart so filled with love will beat
withinย a chest I'll never meet.
I leave my allย to breath earth life
into broken bodies so filled with strife.
Remember me through gifts of giving
please giveย your bodies to the living.
Don't let these gifts beย buried deep
to wither and die whilst you just sleep,
and whenย the worst of me isย gone
my faults and weakness don'tย live on
Pass onย the good, be happy to,
and know the joy that this will do.ย
These gifts please give to aid the living
andย be rememberedย for what you're giving.
When my time is done and I am gone
my gifts will help the sick live on
This was inspired by a piece I read on the difference that can be made by donation of organs after death.

How great to highlight this! everyone needs to 'have the talk' with their nearest and dearest so that their wishes are known..Well done StevieCย to bring this to our attention..nice job!ย

Hi Lodi, yes having the talk is so very important as just having a donor card is not always enough..if the family dont know if this is trulyย your wish they can override the donor card so its always good to make sure everyone is aware of what that person wants to happen. Thanks so much for your comments.ย
