Some Kind of African Life

please be patient, I will respond to all previous messages and reviews in due course .. kindest regards one & all ....

After twenty nine pints of O rhesus positive
   and dying three times ..
Not to mention eight hours straight he spent
   in their hands under the knife ..
They worked on him solid and not one gave
up on him, until they
    eventually handed him back some kind of life ..
And although the guy
who stabbed him twice and took his phone,
his passport and watch
got clean away, he nevertheless, forgave him
and vowed, that one day
   God willing, he might again return to his Africa,
providing his wife and two kids
   would ever dare let him out of their sight again ..
