The Sacrifice

The face once glowing with happiness and gay Is now shadowed with signs of sadness and grey Your stare wonders to a faraway place With lines of concern carved in your face Is this where my dreams have taken me Is this the place I was meant to be As you turn and smile with forced emotion Your silhouette is enhanced by rays of the sun It clearly shows what you try to hide Your longing to leave glows in your eyes Nothing should cloud your trueness to heart May the wind be at your back both light and dark With precious memories of their life's adventures He now knows it is time to leave her She smiles and relieves his hungry lust For she knows all things happen for a must Fly away, fly away, fly away high Like a bird floating off into the sky She watches as he follows to his dream place As he leaves her sight she gives her grace The face once shadowed with sadness and grey Is now glowing with signs of happiness and gay Her stare wonders to his faraway place With smiles of sacrifice carved in her face
