A Drop of Life

In the realm of selfless hearts,
Where compassion knows no bounds,
Lies the act of giving, so divine,
Blood donation, a treasure found.

In every vein, a crimson river flows,
A willingness that knows no fear,
To save a life, to heal the wounds,
Blood donation, a hero's frontier.

With steadfast hands, undaunted souls,
They extend their helping grace,
Bestowing meaning to those in need,
Blood donation, a life's embrace.

Within each heartbeat's resounding drum,
A pledge engraved, unwavering strong,
To lend a hand to the unknown,
Erasing pain, rewriting fate's song.

In the warmth of love and care,
We stand as one, inseparable tide,
No boundaries, no barriers divide,
Blood donation, a world unified.

Donor of blood, a bridge of hope,
Where colors blend, differences erase,
In selfless acts, we find our strength,
Blood donation, a beacon's embrace.

Regardless of skin, creed, or hue,
Blood donation unites us all,
In voluntary service, we discover,
Limitless power within our soul.

Let us share without hesitation,
Erupting joy in a single drop,
Blood donation, an eternal hymn,
Breathing life, never to stop.

A cascade of kindness, ceaseless flow,
On World Blood Donor Day we stand,
United in purpose, unwavering in might,
Blood donation, a miracle in each hand.
