Poetry: Forget me not

The gift

A gift was given,
A life was saved,
But what a cost,
A family's grave.

The one unknown,
Her life was spared,
The greatest gift,
A stranger shared.

The cause unknown,
The love, the pain,
One family's loss,
Another's gain.

The one who lives,
Her life goes on,
Remembering,
Through word and song.

So When I sing,
And when I pray,
I thank the Lord,
For life each day.

For the special family who gave the greatest gift of all, their loved one's organs for donation, so that I might live. THANK YOU

    Regret to Forget

    In my soul
    you are engraved

    In a while
    I fight my cage

    on the wall
    and on my skin

    I feel fire
    so deep within

    Forget me not'
    I whisper softly,
    Surely,
    Now I have gone
    The memory lingers
    Soft touch of my fingers,
    On your life and soul
    Forget

    Forget Me Not

    Can't stop the pain,
    It hurts me still,
    I can't believe it-I've had my fill.

    Recall my laugh,
    And the sweet wine,
    We
