The Gift of Life

The gift of life you gave to me A heartless gift...we would agree You didn’t even blink when asked When surely some would be aghast Forever thanks...I guarantee You heard my self-effacing plea And in your heart...you did not flee My expectations…you surpassed The gift of life Your former heart drums inside me It’s allowed me life…to be free True admiration...you amassed Your legacy…forever cast Perpetually, I’ll credit thee The gift of life

Congrats on your winning work..Just had a young woman here age 35 with a 9 year old child who died from bleeding into the brain..She went to bed one night and never woke up..The family donated her organs..Sara

HOw nice to do one for organ donors. I have a friend whose daughter lies close to death at this moment awaiting TWO lungs. She has a very rare disease which puts holes in her lungs and she had to lose over 60 pounds just to be on the transplant list. right now she is at the very top!!

I love this clever take on the contest, Natalie. Yep, we're both on the register as organ donors - after we're dead, I hope, LOL
