Before the Death Takes Me

Before the death takes me;
I'll give my heart.. 
To  a child who lacked laugh and joy.  
Lungs .. 
To a lover who breathes me air 
And exhales me as a butterfly in the wind, 
My eyes .. 
To a painter turns me to a feather, 
My hands .. 
To a farmer plants me as a tree 
Green all seasons, 
My lips .. 
To a poet sipped me as a coffee 
And write me as a limitless poem , 
My feet .. 
To a footsteps does not bored from the road. 
And my voice .. 
To a songs lives forever in the echo 
; 
Before the death takes me
I'll vowed me to the life .
