Sacrifice

We sacrifice for our children. We’d sacrifice for a friend; But sometimes if we hesitate, We’ll possibly offend. We give when giving’s needed Or ‘til the well runs dry; Yet there are times we’re asked to give And we may not comply. It’s not that we don’t want to, But life gets in the way. We have to hope that those who ask Think saying no’s okay. Decisions often plague us And when we have to choose, There’s one side that is winning; The other has to lose. So whether as a parent Or a relative or pal, We might cause disappointment Or a downfall in morale. For there are times when it appears There’s little to discuss. At times like these, the sacrifice Takes second place, to us!
