Tears of Sacrifice
When you shed a tear at sunset
Do not wipe it a way-
It is the tear of a sacrifice so great;
A tear of life's dismay;
It will make you understand
The taste of the world's pain,
The heaviness of self-sacrifice's hand-
It is the tear of joy's grain
Buried in the darkness of the earth to die
To grow to a new life of high sky
