Text: My will

7hen my hour comes, do not attempt to introduce artificial life into my body by the use of a machine. nstead, give my eyes to a man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby@s face or love in the eyes of a woman. Kive my heart to someone whose own heart has caused nothing but endless days of pain. Kive my kidneys to someone who depends on a machine to survive. 3ake my blood, my muscles, every nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk. 3ake my cells if necessary, and let them grow so that someday a speechless boy will be able to shout as his team scores a goal, and a deaf girl will be able to hear the sound of rain tapping on her window. Jurn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the wind to help flowers grow. f you really want to bury anything, let it be my faults, my weaknesses, and all pre.udice against my fellow men. Kive my sins to the devil, my soul to Kod. f you should wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you. f you do all the things have asked, will live forever. Jy Hobert 3est.
