God Blessing After the Storm

Every needle
Every stick
Every catheter
Every surgery

Watching my blood 
For three hours
Run through a machine
Monday, Wednesday, Friday
It was my job 5am
3 hours

6 years experience
On my life resume
I have scars to show
Long memories 
Never leave my mind

Testimonials to tell the masses
Giving up
Got tired 
But on the wee hours 
On April 14, 2009
Unexpected phone called

Life changing 
I heard those sweets words
You are a match 
Get to the hospital 
You're getting a kidney transplant
I knew my God 
Have a strong purpose
To be fulfilled
