Excellent

The rhythm of this poem will definitely grab the attention of the reader. It has the tone of a 'barker' getting peoples' attention. He is barking an offer no one should refuse. If they really listen they will realize the value of what is being offered. I'm actually donating my entire body to our local University for education. I'll be a teacher even after death.

I really never thought of promoting organ tissue donation that way.
Basically on their side of the deal they would be considered beggars for life.
Thanks Liz,

It is sad enough to lose a child without it being because of another person's mental state. You have always had my heartfelt sympathy in your loss of Jason. I can relate as I lost two sons in my lifetime.

I thank you so much again for stopping by and sharing your losses.
A long time ago after I came out of my depression in 2005.
I started to realize that people have more problems than me.
I turned on the TV at 4:00 in the morning and saw channel 6 action News doing a report on three missing boys.
This began as a block party in Camden New Jersey and why the children were not watched you figure?
They all were eventually found the next day when the heat was up over 100° in the trunk of one of the children's grandmother's Cadillac!
That was the first time I realized that I had to give to of foreseeing.
I called the Camden Police department and talked to the sergeant on call that I have a feeling that children are trapped but I don't quite know where but it's a dark place.
Later on after going to that town to pay my respects I was told 22 Camden police officers were out on mental sick leave.
...
This was also when I realized that I had a blessed ability to write and write just about anything especially.
Especially about mourning and grief.
"A Father's Grieving Headache"
It Was then followed with beautiful love poems.
"My Deep Understanding of the Word Love and My Deeper Understanding of the Word Love XXXX"
...
And, eventually every spectrum of word and situation.
Thanks,
Doctor Ricky 1024

I enjoyed the puns in your title, which also remind us of the theme of this book - of life continuing thanks to tragedy, and the most amazing of gifts. I like that you focus on the new opportunities this gives, and how that can hopefully inspire change.
