But Sacrifice

Actions speak louder than voice, they say
Words think louder than thoughts, I say
Always listening to me feels better than ever, you say
But sacrifice…

It’s the reason why we are here
It’s the soul of existence
It’s the advance nature of our true selves
Yet goes beyond self

It’s more honest than spoken words
It’s more resounding than music

 It’s more than just feelings
It’s borne out of a genuine heart
It’s an extension of our inner convictions
The total expression of true love

For what greater sacrifice hath a man than this
That a man gave up his life for his friend
