(most people will never even know they "donated")
He remembered
where to go
He had his umbrella,
keys and wallet
He remembered exactly
what to order
He remembers why
he drinks to forget
He could be full of anger
Or wallow in failure
When he thinks of his little girl
he sinks into regret
Once he gave blood
Doctors studied his genes
One cured a dreaded disease
But cost millions to get
He was denied any compensation
Not a penny for this miracle within him
Why couldn't she have that gene?
Staring at his drink
he sees her awake inside the casket
