A Living Will Poem by Sonya Florentino

A Living Will

Rating: 5.0


If I'm no longer inspired
Consider me dead
If I'm no longer in love
Put me to bed!

If I no longer write
I have lost my love for life
Go ahead
Consider me dead!

Now if I'm still breathing
and still have all three
and suddenly stop breathing
Resuscitate me!

Yes if I'm still breathing
in love, inspired and writing
I'm still alive!
Still alive!
