Cede something precious
momentarily for something
better,
give away today’s comfort
to conquer tomorrow’s
sunshine,
endure under trial for a noble
cause,
eschew mundane for piety.
Suffer a loss to gain
tomorrow,
forfeit today to lay hold
onto the future,
forgo immediate benefit,
but wait for tomorrow’s
blessing,
close eyes to temporary
pleasure and enjoyment,
but pursue task with
associated pains.
Yield not under compulsion,
ready to waive rights for
a cherished cause,
offer self for un-rewarding
service,
ready to part with
possession.
Ready to give and
expect nothing in return,
surrender soul for others
to live;
is sacrifice too big to make?
Sacrifice! Sacrifice! Sacrifice!
defines a noble mind,
it makes life simple,
it leads mind to a restful
destination.
Sacrifice engenders generosity,
Sacrifice! Sacrifice! Sacrifice!
belongs to those who see
tomorrow with clear eyes
and clear mind.
