To Our Donor Family

To our dear donor family, I know I must write I am going to get these words out, if it takes all night My sister, the recipient of the organs, you see Your gift not only changed her, but also me When I was only two, my little sister came too soon. Thirteen weeks early, during April’s full moon.

Thirteen weeks early, during April’s full moon. Everyone asked, Can we save this teeny tiny baby? At their best, the doctors would only say, maybe. Something they didn’t count on, and they didn’t know My sister is a fighter, and the whole world, she’d show Whether in the hospital or daily at home She kept on battling Short Bowel Syndrome Regardless, we are as normal as two sisters can be Growing up, we laughed, fought, and drove our mom crazy But as time went on, her condition continued to get worse I found myself asking, why our family had to face this curse After numerous hospital stays and surgeries complete It seemed the journey was too hard, too difficult of a feat Then, at the darkest of times, a hero came along And where one was weak, two are now so strong She is a miracle, we can all see And in a few years, 30 she’ll be. And a full life, she’ll get to live Just because you decided to give A very valuable lesson to me has been taught Take my time with her for granted, I will not I will tell the world the importance of organ donation Because generosity like yours, can change a nation. Please know Thank You is just never enough And finding the most grateful words is tough To us a mystery, you may always be But know in your heart, that you gave my sister back to me. Forever Grateful, BTB
