No Extraordinary Measures Please

NO EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES PLEASE No extraordinary measures, Please- No feeding tube no respirator- Once the mind has gone south Let the body die also- I don't want to sit in a chair for twenty years drooling- I don't want to give a vacant smile That leads family members to have false hope- I don't want to be a bother and an expense- You can't just kill me And I won't sign on to suicide- And I should have ordinary medicines And medical care But don't push it- I am just another human being Who has lived on this earth However you may love me- I am sorry I am causing you this grief- And I am sorry you might miss me- But what is important to me Is that You go on living your lives In the best way possible- What will become of me And whether we will meet again is our question and God's answer- Thank you for sharing my life with me I love you-
