Dr John Celes - On Organ Donation

If you’re brain-dead by accidents:

Your eyes can continue to see
By being placed in one who needs,
And live for another life-time!

Your heart can continue to beat
In one who needs a living pump
To circulate the blood around!

Your kidneys both can excrete wastes
In persons two with uraemia,
And help them live for some more years!

Your liver transplanted in one
With alcoholic cirrhosis
Can help him live for some more weeks!

Your pancreas, lungs, intestines,
Bone, bone-marrow and entire skin
Can be help to keep fifty alive!

Donate your other organs too
To ones in dire need of them,
And make your corpse to help men live!

So, gift your body parts to ones
Who seem to be in verge of death
And help continue to breathe!

Donate your organs; help men live!
You can serve God and man though dead!
