Dave the Brave

I have a long time friend named Dave Who has been asked to do something most would consider as brave By donating bone marrow a life he could save The power to keep someone out of a grave What a decision to have on his shoulders A decision as heavy as two mammoth boulders He has been a valued blood donor for quite awhile They need another donation but of a different style He was phoned and told he was a match But also told there was a catch They informed him there would be pain after the surgery And that it would feel similar to a major injury They would not say if he was matched with a male Or if he was matched with a female The recipient’s identity confidential Their need for his marrow substantial He was told that they are overseas This didn’t upset him nor did it please The surgery will obviously be free And obviously it should be The question lingers as to will he say yes To say yes or no would just be a guess What would I do if put in the same situation To donate marrow to a person of another nation It’s easy to say yes to a question that’s hypothetical In the same way a citizen acts political But when it comes to the crunch You are either with or against the bunch I think it is truly admirable to donate But it is a personal situation one has to evaluate If you do decide to donate that’s great But if you don’t there should be no hate If the decision is no from Dave Does this make him any less brave I don’t think so If to others it’s yes how far does one have to go There are other ways a person’s braveness can show One such way is saying no With a decision of no will there be regret Will he be consumed by this and constantly fret The decision is his and one he has to make on his own After this decision he will be truly grown Don’t think you are responsible for a stranger’s fate There are other options it won’t be too late And no matter what, highly you will rate Good luck with your decision my mate
