An etched poem of gratitude to a donor and the donor's family.
So Hope Will Live
This poem is written from the perspective of an organ recipient directed to an organ donor and his or her family. The donor's family has very recently undergone a terrible loss of their loved one, and their pain is still very recent and very raw, and organ recipients know this and appreciate that they have benefited from the donation of the organ(s) of someone whose death has sadly impacted their own loved ones while the gift of the organ(s) is intended to help someone else live.
“Know that I am grateful
for the life you gave to me.
May my life bring comfort
from the pain that hurts you so:
we are strangers now a family,
wherever we may go.
And may the life that lives in me
shine the light so all can see
that life goes on, ironically,
when we choose to donate life,
so hope will live, eternally.”
I am showing this with an oval opening, and my own photo appears there as a sample only.* For reasons stated below, this picture poem will be available only with a rectangular photo opening and not an oval opening. The oval matte around the photo adds a large cost to the piece, and I would prefer to make these a bit more affordable.
And I hope that these poems encourage people to consider being an organ donor. I also hope the poems offer hope, solace and comfort to those needing an organ and to those families whose loved one has given an organ.
You can insert the organ recipient's photo, or the donor's photo can be inserted. If you wish, we can cut two openings to allow you to insert a photo of each for an additional $30.00. And we will etch the names of the donor and the recipient too.
I also thank those health care workers with the expertise and the caring to be able to perform organ transplant surgery, on both the donor and the recipient, so others may live. Those health care workers deserve our gratitude.
This etched piece is 20 x 16 inches, framed.
Offered with a gold colored matte around a rectangular photo opening, on black (not charcoal) matte.
With One Photo Opening: $279.99 Add $30.00 for a second photo opening with double matte.*
Includes personalization. Contact me with the correct spelling of the name or names.
Includes a black or light brown frame, though it will not be the frame shown in the website as that frame is no longer available.
