There’s a
needle stuck deep in my vein;
I’ve done
this time and time again;
The essence
of life in blood red bag flows free.
I’m glad to
be able to give,
To help
someone else to live.
But if I need
some, would you give a little back to me?
You can take
part of my life to ease your pain,
I want to
help you time and time again,
To give
something of mine that you lack.
You might be
a father, sister, aunt or son
Or a young
child whose life has just begun,
But there
might be a time I might need some back.
There’s a
blood red tube running from my arm;
It doesn’t
hurt, it causes no harm,
But that pint
could be a life saver.
It could make
a difference to a life,
For an uncle,
daughter, husband or wife.
But tell me,
would you return the favour?
