Give nothing i but to death my
fleshy bone and skin to line my
pointless coffin in
Think of me as not a favorite dog
or pet left at a kennel or in need
of putting down
And speak not word's of me but
rather of my deeds and actions
For i am merely just my parents son
and brother to my sister and occasionally
a friend to some passing through
And please do not lie on my behalf or
choose to cover up or forget
both the bad and the good i did
I was not always in the right
not always filled with best intentions
The only thing i doth hope if nothing
else is , i gave far more than i took
And may this be my final wish that
every single functional organ
i have to give , shall i donate
For taken far to much i did beyond
my means and lot in life
So let not my life with solitude
and tears of loss on the faces
of my loved one's end
But rather with the joyful gift
of extended life and time given
To some far more needy deserving
significant soul
