Love and Sacrifice

Love and sacrifice, two words intertwined
None can stand without the other
Love without sacrifice is an empty promise
So if you want to build your life on love
Make sure sacrifice is the foundation
Only then can true love be found

Love should be discovered rather than just found. I really enjoyed these lines of yours. Very well done!

Yes, love means putting the interests of others before you...not always easy, but a necessity and indeed a reward. Nice write.
