To Remember Me
Written By Robert N. Test
Give my sight to the 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
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.
If you must bury something, let it be my faults,
my weaknesses, and all 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.
In honor and memory
of my grandson
