Remember

It’s the thing you don’t naturally want

But what you choose out of love

You become willing because of wanting the best

Not for you, but for other

It’s seen in war

It’s shown at home

You give without expectation

In this deal you’ve lost

Yet there is a grand plan

A greater belief in good

You choose the harder road

This gives others opportunity

There is a choice to forgive

And lest we forget

A cost that bears weight

So others can go free

It hurts, it’s real, it’s needed

This is sacrifice
