Life Poems

Giving blood

Life flowing silently within me
Keeping me alive
Feeding my organs
Bur now I chose to share this life force
Invade my veins
Stick in a tube
I will squeeze the ball to push out my blood
Thick and red
I don't look
Try not to think
About my life force flowing out
Trusting that what they say is true
I can build a new pint within a day
My friend cannot
She has a sickness in her blood
Undeserved,
uninvited
Yet it came
I will gladly share my life force with her
How amazing is this blood
How necessary for it to flow silently within me
I am grateful that I can share.
