Tribute to Tanya Tait for gift of a kidney

Editor:

Tanya’s Gift

 

What do you give for saving a life?

For such an generous, charitable act

 

Your gift of life, strength, and health

The reward is for all of us in fact

 

You unselfishly gave Todd a kidney

When he fell ill and nearly died

 

No words can express our gratitude

To you who gave so he could survive

 

Is there a way I can repay such kindness?

No, there is nothing I can give

The gift we all receive from your offering

Is that our dear friend lives

 

And so Todd will continue his life’s work

And be a great blessing to country and friends

 

As he and the Lord save babies and slaves,

Change the face of politics, and His flock tend

 

I begin with saying a heartfelt thank you

You have my deepest respect

 

 

I pray “The Lord bless you richly

And you and your families’ lives protect”

When Jesus puts a splendid crown upon your head

And the angels celebrate, dance, and sing

 

Here is our precious, faithful daughter

Whose gift made heaven’s bells ring

 

All these people gather today in your honour

To celebrate, share snacks and have fun

 

But your true reward waits in heaven with Jesus

When he says “Well done my daughter, well done”
