A Simple Act

I visited her grave today Laid fresh flowers at the site I stayed until the sun went down And day turned into night I thought about the accident That prematurely ended her life I never met this brave young girl And wondered what she was like All I knew about the loved one here Was her name and the simple fact That when she got her driver’s license She signed the donor part on back And now her heart beats inside me A man she never knew I illegally found out who you were So I could come here to thank you A simple act, to sign your name May give life when yours does end I am able to bring you flowers now Because you saved my life, good friend

Sometimes old dogs, it surely seems, can faithfully remember. They bring their springtime hearts to thank the ones who gave them their December. ... Great job... Jake
