In a Place Not So Far Away
Was a hero in the making
It wasn’t anyone you or I know
Not a Rock Star or Super Sports Star
And I was the lucky one called for the taking.
In a Place Not So Far Away
For me, it was countdown to zero
But luckily, there was my hero
Somewhere, there for me.
In a Place Not So Far Away
There was a family whose loved one
Had been called back to our maker
And One thing I can tell you
Is, I was no faker
In a Place Not So Far Away
They didn’t know me
Didn’t have a clue who I was
But Because of their Selflessness, Kindness and generosity
And in their Darkest hour
They thought of me.
In a Place Not So Far Away
I received a Double Lung Transplant
So I could be free of CF and live on
And Breathe easy for the first time in my life
Now, I was out of strife.
It was on my Birthday, who could ask for
a better present than that, to rant.
In a Place Not So Far Away
Not a gift from my Mother, Father, Brother or Sister
But a gift from Madonna,
“Bub”, my Guardian Angel
She saved my life, my Organ Donor.
In a Place Not So Far Away
So precious and Dear
She spread her wings to fly
Without any Fear
Our little Butterfly.
In a Place Not So Far Away
Today,
I am so proud and Blessed and filled with Glory
To be here to tell you my Story.
Thank you to my Donor and my Donor Family
I love you the most, From the bottom of my Heart
For without you, I would have fallen apart.
Sam (40, post Transplant)
