The Supreme Gift

True story from a poem written by my father after I donated a kidney to my sister back in 1995. -- Lyrics: -- Verse 1 If you think giving is out of style It is, if you give for selfish smiles But when compassion leads the way Love shines brighter every day Chorus He had two, and gave up one A gift of life, a gift of love For his sister, so she could go on He had two, and gave up one Verse 2 You don’t need riches to give what’s true Just a heart that beats with passion too Admiration fills me, my son’s the proof His sacrifice sings the living truth Chorus He had two, and gave up one A gift of life, a gift of love For his sister, so she could go on He had two, and gave up one Bridge Thank God above, they’re both doing fine A miracle written in love’s design The supreme form of giving shines Forever etched in our hearts and minds. --- A kidney he gave, the supreme form of giving A gift to his sister to go on living --- Final Chorus (repeat, with lift) He had two, and gave up one A gift of life, a gift of love For his sister, so she could go on He had two, and gave up one -- He had two, and gave up one A gift of life, a gift of love For his sister, so she could go on He had two, and gave up one
