Donate Life
People all over the world need organs to survive.
Donate what you can spare to keep someone alive.
Kidneys, liver and bone marrow too.
Maybe someone else will take your cue.
Some parts you can donate while you yet live.
So open up your heart, this precious gift to give.
Eye tissue, skin grafts, what are you waiting for?
What is it that we need to say to get you through the door?
What family member or friend is on the waiting list?
We know it's someone special that will be truly missed!
If we don't help others out - can you tell us who will?
We must now act swiftly or people's hearts will soon be still!
Donating life is easy and more fulfilling than you can know.
So take a stand for others - your love for them to show.
Actions speak louder than words - so donate life today.
From this worldwide problem - no longer run away!
(Addendum to poem - I actually donated my left kidney to my mother in November
of 2009. I'm not just throwing down words here.)
