The Tragedy And The Miracle, By: Franny Weldon

August 12, 2024 by Franny Weldon

The Tragedy And The Miracle, By: Franny Weldon

My heart stops beating but life doesn’t stop there
Another’s life is fading but now there is
kidney to spare,
My life on this world is now gone
But through another a little piece of it lives on,

I am the receiver speaking and my life can now restart
Through the generosity of the donor’s gift as they depart,
Both my family and I will forever speak of them in
our humble and thankful circle And we shall never ever forget the tragedy and the miracle.
