Kidney Shaped Cuff Links

"Be the change you wish to
see in the world" - Ghandi

Once upon two years ago

A man donated his kidney.

To a young woman went the organ,

She came from The Rocks of Sydney.

Anonymous this was supposed to be,

But the girl had something else in mind,

For she wanted to meet this mystery man –

The one who saved her from death’s bind.

So at Rainbow Gardens they finally did meet,

His family and her close friend.

Together they dined on delicious food

Thankful it’s no longer her end.

When all were done eating and after chatting a while,

The girl said she had something for him.

Then out of her purse she pulled a small box,

And out stretched her weak nimble limb.

Slowly he opened the little blue package,

“Tiffany’s” read the gold brand name,

And there in white velvet laid kidney-shaped cuff links,

Shiny and silver they came.

Two little cuff links, in a drawing of hands,

Mean the world to the man’s daughter –
Who admires, through tear stained eyes,
Her hero and best friend: her father.
