This poem was composed by my very special heart transplant pal Andrew Wilson of England. Andrew was the very first recipient of a "Domino" heart transplant in the world in 1987 there in UK. Andrew passed away July 7th 2005 in London. RIP Andrew

Heart Transplant


No football, No biking,

No running, No hiking,

Bleep goes the machine,

You lie there so weak,

Why is life so mean?


With the oxygen mask,

Life’s an uphill task,

Oh donor come fast,

And Save me at last.





A donor is found!

Put your feet on the ground –

And jump up for joy,

Life is changing my boy.



Yes to football, Yes to biking,

Yes to running, Yes to hiking,

No more bleeps from that -

dreaded machine,

Life is better than ever it’s been.



You’re no longer wistful,

As you run in the grass,

Thanks to the gift of life,

Your problems may pass.


Ol' Bob I truly miss my dear friend Andrew.
