To the Bone

Bone marrow one year old today!

A lot to be grateful for.

Here’s thanks to doctors and nurses,

Scientists and hygienists, researchers,

Generations of tax payers,

Politicians who took risks,

Radiologists and oncologists

Pushing boundaries.

Nature and humankind,

Stunning capacities of blood,

Science that developed drugs

To treat errors in genes.

To the young man who donated,

To the brave one who lived through it.

Today I celebrate you all.
