This beautiful poem was composed by a sibling sister of a heart transplant recipient in Illinois USA.
Who Were You?
By Tami Gardner
In loving memory and appreciation to "The Donor"
Were You someone's son?
Were you their precious and only boy?
Who filled his mother's heart With laughter and with joy.
Were you someone's big brother?
Were you the first to do everything?
Did you pave the way?
For the little sisters who watched all you did
And knew you'd be great someday.
Were you someone's father?
Were you the daddy who looked down
Into those beautiful eyes of blue?
On the day she was born did you look at your little girl and
Marvel at how much she looked like you?
Were you someone's friend?
Did everyone who knew you come to love you in a special way?
Did you bring sunshine into every room,
Even on a rainy day?
Did you make a difference?
Because you were in it, was the world a better place?
Does just the thought of you
Bring a smile to every face?
I know your mother must be hurting and missing her baby boy.
But I wanted to say thank you,
For bringing back my mother's joy.
If you had a brother or sister, I know they must be sad.
But I want to say thank you,
For making this sister's heart so glad.
If you were a father and you are looking down from heaven,
Watching your child grow.
I want you to look over and see the child,
Who needed her dad more than you'll ever know.
Even though I am sure that you would have been the best father
A child ever had.
More than anything this world could offer,
This little girl needed her dad.
I am sure your friends are missing you
And treasure the memories of when you were here.
Those memories are the precious times
They will always hold dear.
You have given the gift of life.
You have given a brand new start.
Part of you still lives on
With every precious beat of my brother's heart.
I don't know who you are or what you dreamed to be.
But when you gave the gift of your heart,
You gave us back our family.
THANK YOU!"
