For all blood donors past, present, and future. ~
From all walks of life,
near and far,
you lie on a gurney,
your own sustenance
flowing out of you-
givers of the red.
Quiet heroes take the
iron supplements,
so you can give again
and again,
for the injured, the soldiers,
the mothers giving birth,
those with cancer,
who depend on your
generosity.
You repeat the feat
because you're noble,
whole blood, platelets.
An honoring refrain-
givers of the red,
saluting you-
givers of the red. ~
