Can You Forward My Prayer - To the Ear of Our Father

I'm not sure how this works, but I'm willing to try. This is for those who are sick, and ready to die. Can I give you my health, my last heartbeat? I'm praying for anything I can do, to help them back on their feet. I've been here long enough, there are those much younger. I now offer you my life, give me all of their hunger. How are lives spared, can I relieve someone's pain? Can I give my life's blood, how much do you need to drain? Even now oh Lord, I can see you on that cross. You gave us your all, you suffered great loss. Please let me pay back, or at least pay it forward. Take from me instead of my brothers, I couldn't be more straightforward. I now lay down my life, right here at your feet. Let me take on more hunger, so that others may eat. I know you are busy, I'm sorry to bother. Can you forward my prayer, to the ear of our father?
