What makes us so weak, what gives us the strength?
To journey through life, to course through its length?
It's the people we love, and the ones who love us,
They support and pray, bestowing their trust.
They say love has the power to change everything,
It can turn around lives and cause a chord to string,
It can bring out the best in our nature, you see,
By means of sacrifice, our true side's revealed.
What causes our hearts to show abnegation?
Does all this earn us some veneration?
Why aren't we just selfish and leave them to rot?
Leaving them alone and totally distraught.
There's so much that we kind people give,
For their love, even the right to live,
Nothing ever great's achieved without it,
To taste success, get ready to submit.
Why do we lend the things that matter?
To get in return, our frail heart shattered?
After caring so much and putting their lives,
Ahead of ours, so they shine and thrive.
The sun loves the moon, with fondness it seethes,
He dies every night to let her breathe,
This priceless act without ill and vice,
That tests our love, is called sacrifice.
Yours poetically,
The Literary Artisan 💖
