Transfusion

Life dripping,

into a 20 gauge or larger

preferably above the wrist,

at 150 milliliter an hour,

unless CHF demands less.

Vitals initial, at five, and hourly.

H and H an hour after,

and in the morning.

Pink cheeks and vitality.

All due to a donor

who took the time,

to spend an hour

saving someone

they'll never meet.

Selflessness transfused.
