Cut my hair and give
it to *Locks Of Love*
Because I won't need it in heaven above
Give my eyes so another may see
Because God will give a new body to me
Give my blood so another may live
A good life for another is my objective
Give my bones so another may stand
They will get around without holding a hand
Give my brain so another may learn
When I get to heaven, I have no intent to return
Give my limbs so another may walk or touch
Without the use of prosthetics or a crutch
Give my voice box so another may sing and talk
Praising God daily in their earthly walk
Give my lungs so another may breathe the breath
of life
And may the recipient have more faith than Lot's
wife
Give my heart so another can give unconditional
love
The kind we receive daily from God above
What I'm really saying is: use any part of me
My Heavenly Father will set my soul free
Where I am going, I won't need this ole' body
So my last wishes I'd like to embody
Please follow my wishes to a tee
That way, you will be showing respect for me
For following my last request
I have left you a loving memory
Never put yourself first
Life is never just about thee
God put us here on Earth to look after others
His intent was, we'd all be sisters and brothers
Thank you so much for following my request
May your life be ever so blessed
