Every drop counts... a gift of life.

One of my favourite places to visit every 60 odd days for a pint and cookies... You guessed it... I am a donor! Next visit will make 50 odd, although I do not think I will ever reach the grand total of some donors but at least the last 2 years I have averaged 5 donations per year, next year I am going to try and squeeze in 6, it all depends on when I donate my first for the year... My challenge to the blogosphere (those that cannot due to medical reasons or are under age are exempt.) is Donate Blood! As a former recipient I know how important this simple act of giving is.

The Gift - C Heusmann - performed by Gregorian Masters of Chant.
Forgive is a word I am learning
If only to pass the time
I love you for all your weakness
I love you for all your lies
Will you grow
Will you understand
The damage you caused in time
The past is behind we are facing
A punishment for the crime

The gift you gave me
Our sweet encounter
Became so fragile and flew with the night
I will be witness
I will not falter
Till we are risen again to the light

Would you forgive me
My heart was broken
But I will mend I will be as before
Just give me one chance
To make it better
Uhh let me be yours

Without you I'm weak and I'm listless
Without you I find I'm blind
I watch you alone, are you dreaming
Of happines left behind
Do you drift in your heart at night
Walk through the rooms of your mind
Open the door I'll be waiting
Remember this is your life

Chorus

At least donating blood is less painless than the ending quote...
**Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead.**
