The Heart of An Angel
She has the heart of an angel
A blessed gift from above
A second chance to live
Through a donation of love.
Her scars are a reminder
To treasure each day
To follow her dreams
And lead others the same way.
Her strength and courage
Are an inspiration to us all
Teaching us to believe
And always stand tall.
With a gentle smile
Her eyes shine bright
A petite miracle
With a spiritual light.
Like a pot of gold
She harbors a treasure
A symbol of life
Only a donor can measure.
She has the heart of an angel
Embracing life’s chance
Through the gift of another
Living is her romance.
NOTE: Back in 1997, a little girl from Mankato, Minnesota desperately needed a heart
transplant--and God didn't let her down! Today she is almost 19 and her smile lights up the
room when she walks in. This poem is dedicated to her--to her strength and courage--and to
her energy and compassion!
Though there seems to be alot of minut controversy over being a donor, I am very proud to
be a donor--and --I hope that one day, if somone ever needs a second chance at life--my
being a donor will make a difference to them!
