THE GIFT OF A LIFETIME
As he drove the highway, he never saw the curve
The oncoming truck never had time to swerve
The screeching of the tires left a trail of smoke
As the vehicles collided, the driver awoke
The impact was horrific, metal to metal
If only they had thought to ease up on the pedal
The sirens sounded in the far away distance
Many lives would change in an instant
As each minute passed, the victims increased
The vital signs of the driver had ceased
The paremedics arrived as the police did, too
Saving the driver was what they had to do
As he laid there lifeless, only one thought crossed his mind
Who will be my saviour? Who will be so kind?
He was rushed to the hospital, a transfusion was required
The call for blood was urgent, as his body slowly tired
Fortunately, a donor was available to help his fellow man
And for this deed, the victim was again able to stand
So, as you read this now, please take this poem as a sign
For one day when you least expect it, you may need...
THE GIFT OF A LIFETIME
