The bold blood that bleeds 
For glory, sacrifices 
Of esteem for pride

Goodwill Versus Gain

Goodwill comes with pain.
Brotherhood trumps the jealousy
of personal loss 
when valor sacrifices gain.

A Cracked Wall

Many kids are in a rush again:
Confusion rejoices in their voices,
Stones splash in sacrifices –
The ancient wall has cracked:
The flames burn beyond control.

Rest My Love

Rest my love,
for weariness on your spirit lies,
at dawn of its sacrifices.

Rest my love,
for you'll find comfort in sheets linen,
kindness of your soul never taken.

Military Service

on the barber's chair
looking at my hair
piled on the floor
I did adore
now hardly any hair
this life doesn't seem fair
but sacrifices are made
for freedom isn't a trade

through years of turbulence
she kept the boat afloat
we all made it to the other side

grown up now that we look back
we understand love's sacrifices

Shepherd of our souls, the
Son of God became flesh,
Submitted Himself to
Suffering, shame and death;
Sacrifices His life for
Sinners like you and I.
Simply trust in Jesus!

School

Sacrifices fundamental activities for education.
Clouds enclosed in mentality.
Home of the learned.
Occupation of those who can't do.
Opposition of modern history.
Life of the ludicrous.

T- ells the truth and sacrifices lies.
E- ncourages in everyway possible.
R- eaches out to share many a tear.

S is for the sacrifices our conscience makes

At Art-- the River Goddess; At Act-- the Dreadful Rapist

There lives a DAM so MAD.
She is a DON for whom you must NOD.
Without it, go not DOWN unless you want WOUND.
Kindly use DOGs as sacrifices to the gODs.
You definitely have a DEAL, when dogs LEAD.

Messages

It is as if I am trying to give a profound message.

But my words are being scratched out by an entity. 

The mystical crowds that were cheering me on-

Were actually the ghosts of my sacrifices.

True Love

What is true love?
It is the passion and the
willingness to do anything,
for your lover

What is true love?
It is the sacrifices and
the benefits,
of your life

True Love
It is the key to all

SECRET OF HAPPINESS



If a morsel

Of

Egoism on the altar of love one sacrifices  
Each day 

Manifold 

The gains of heart and soul in happiness  
Would be!

Premium Member Summit Reaching

Work for excellence.
Don't settle for less.
Worth things take time. 

Sacrifices, pain, tears.
Part of reaching the top.
Keep taking the steps 
that give you the victory.

His wounded heart showed with pride

The scars so deep indelible remain

Reminding the soul of sacrifices made
 
The burning passions of his to sustain!

Broken

When God is all you have,
God is all you need
But God brings beauty
out of brokenness.

He restores
He calls us
and brings
JOY
So my trust is in you.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit
Psalm 51:17

Sacrifice

Go home and
tell about us 
"we lost our tomorrow
for your today"
written on tombs of soldiers
Tell about me 
I sold the 
sacrifices of our soldiers today
for my tomorrow
written on 
the tomb of a politician!

Sacrifices

Day to day, 
I watch you floundering,
Like a fish out of water.
The human and the mermaid.
Afraid of drowning,
He calls from his little island,
As the sea beckons.
Offering it's spoils
Torn,
You sit in the shallows.

bra yuppie
crossing x-tends
desired walkways
enhancing valued
futures underlying
gainfully tried
honorable sacrifices
involving resources
jockied quickly
knowing people
leach ones
