We have been blessed with good health…Both my wife, Deborah, and me…
which is why we both have DONOR listed on our drivers license/ID.
But now that we’ve grown older we are pretty sure…
Doctors might not want our old organs anymore.
So, if we can’t be organ donors…
Before we move away…the two of us agreed…
To donate some of the furniture…we no longer need.
Because unlike our old body parts…the two of us conceded
our old furniture, though old, is still wanted and still needed.
We loved our old furniture…and rather than sell or simply lose it
It’s nice to know it now resides with families who can use it.
Our couch, rocking chair and day bed…
now live in our neighbors growing family’s safe keeping.
They can sit on our couch, rock their baby in the chair
and the day bed is where their daughter will be sleeping.
Some bookshelves and a nice long table…now complete
a work station for the newlyweds who live across the street.
Our old roll top desk, Hawaiian chair and file cabinet…Have found a way to blend
into the house of two older newlyweds…who have become dear friends.
Our love seat and IKEA shelving unit… were quite heavy
so with a few grunts and groans…
they now sit in the first apartment of 3 young men…
starting to live out on their own.
Some of Deborah’s Fiesta ware…in all those bright colors we love to see
have found their way into the houses of friends and family.
We are happy knowing our furnishings…
will live in other houses where friends and family dwell…
and we sat around in our ever-emptying house…we wished we had an organ
so we could have donated it as well
