13512 - When you give, you get nothing back
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou
When you give, you get nothing back
but you fill yourself with joy
because you know
that blood donation
is joy donation
and that the blood
you gave
without being paid
will fulfill
your purpose
and in future
will help
someone who knows
nothing yet
for his need
because he didn’t suffer
because he didn’t learn
for the next one
while you are already getting ready
owing to your preparation
to arrive
right on time
of need
due to humaneness.
