I see sacrifice as giving up something of value for something of greater value. Sacrifice involves both loss and gain. This loss is simply the value I put upon any value I claim. May our sacrifices for our values secure a better world for awe.
All Who Have Years Here
All who have years here
There are certain times
To enjoy the many treats of life
There are uncertain times
To suffer the many entreats of death
Awe those who have maturity
To delay gratification
For better days
Awe those with fearless love
To endure requisite losses
To secure true peace
May mother patience
And father courage
Carry us
A cross
The threshold
Of awe that is abundant
Calling us forward
In equal measure
Long the weigh of tough daze
Sow even
In the roughest times
Getting our fare share
The benefit of every won
All who have years here
