Hi. A new song / poem came to me about Caitie, so i had to write it. It centers around organ donation.

She Gave
By Padrig Boles
Oct 2009


We didn’t, we didn’t know what to do
She was gone, but she could still live
They said no, we said yes

She gave, you should too
She gave, you should too

Mom took charge
Helped Caitie speak through her notes
Jeff stood firm as the big man crumbled

She gave, you should too
She gave, you should too

The doctors understood
Caitie’ wishes were too clear
She was born to save

She gave, you should too
She gave, you should too

Her breath removed
Her light ebbed
Mom at her ear

She gave, you should too
She gave, you should too

We were all there
It was too much to bear
We wish she was here

She gave, you should too
She gave, you should too

Now she’s a hero for all time
Just ask Dawn and Sharon
Caitie always cared

She gave, you should too
She gave, you should too
