Knowing he has but few days,
in a hospital our cousin lays,
the only child of our widowed aunt,
awaiting a liver transplant.

Wayne's at the top on the waiting list.
Aliver would be a perfect gift.
Tho we may be unable to give him one,
we can pray for Gods will to be done.

The thought of holiday tragedies
bearing far flung miseries,
is nothing any would celebrate,
but bless each victim who'll donate!

This forum's not a 'help wanted' line
but its members have heart and take time,
so I'm asking each for prayer
that God'll keep Wayne in His care.

Add my prayers to the list. Out of curiosity, have they checked into living donors??

A Sandgrain -

In time of need,
an effortless deed.
Never too much to ask.
Prayer sent
this very moment,
finds its way
to God,
with Wayne's name on it.

Every prayer from each of you there,
is from your heart, I'm aware.
My heart smiles in thankfulness,
and prays you each will be blessed!

Special thanks to you, Marge, for your loving verse, as well.
