A Five Wishes document is the first living will that talks about your personal, emotional and spiritual needs as well as your medical wishes. It lets you choose the person you want to make health care decisions for you if you are not able to

make them for yourself. Five Wishes lets you say exactly how you wish to be treated if you get seriously ill. It was written

with the help of The American Bar Association’s Commission of Law and Aging, and the nation’s leading experts in

end-of-life care. It’s also easy to use.

TTea Leaves

BOQUETS

Yellow mustard lights the hills,

A brown skinned man, head swathed in a turban.

Purple lupine, contrasting dark green foliage,

Dark bushy hair, dark skin, a swagger.

Golden California poppies shine among dark green leaves,

White skin, spiky yellow hair, tats.

White narcissus blooming, harbinger of spring,

Straight black hair, caramel complexion, toddler in hand

And an expectation.

All these colors, flowers, cultures,

A vibrant, living, bouquet.
