From My Point of View

I’m shaped just like a kidney bean
The cutest thing you’ve ever seen
Tho not the biggest one I’m told
Without me you’d be in the cold.
I churn and filter all the day
To keep blood clean the healthy way
God in His wisdom gave you two
But now we know just one will do.
If yours gets tired, begins to fail
Chin up, fear not, no need to wail
Someone may give you one of theirs
Because they always come in pairs.

I’ll always be there come what may
To celebrate World Kidney Day!
