The Transcendent Legacy
Upon the morn, should fate my thread unspool
And I to death's unyielding grip succumb
Do not in earth my mortal form entomb
But let my vital organs be the tool
That grants another life a chance to bloom
Leave my remains in sylvan glade to dwell
To be by fauna and the flora consumed
Thus to the natural cycle I'll comply
And in death, life anew is thus resumed
Let not my passing be in vain, but let
My death a gift to those in need be made,
For in the end, it is not wealth nor net
That truly matters, but the lives we've saved
So when I go, let this be my last plea
Donate my organs and let nature be.
About this poem
I implore you to consider the act of organ donation as a form of posthumous altruism, a selfless act of benevolence that will live on in the lives of those who receive the gift of a second chance.
