The Supreme Gift

in #poetry7 years ago

Ponder this for awhile
If you think giving is out of style
It is if you give to benefit yourself
And not for the good of someone else
If you give from the heart with compassion
Others will know it’s still in fashion
You don’t have to be wealthy to give
Only a giving heart, a passion to live
My admiration is all for my son
He had only two, but gave up one
A kidney he gave, the supreme form of giving
A gift to his sister to go on living
They are both doing fine
Thank God and my son
He had only two
And gave up one

This poem was written by my father about my sister and me right after we had the kidney transplant done. That was on 15 Apr 1995 and we are still both doing just fine.
