Givers Poetry Contest Rm

For Regina McIntosh Givers Poetry Contest 21 September 2020 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
