The Blood Clinic

For all those 
Who donate blood. 

           #

So here I am
In the blood clinic 
With a needle inserted 
Into my vein,

     The traffic outside 
      Passing to and fro 
      In the busy city, 

And someone who is sick 
Or dying 
Injured in an accident 
Or perhaps even a young child, 

Will benefit from all this...
