The Ultimate Sacrifice

He saw the beauty in all

whether inside or out

he could stare for hours

trying to figure them out



Along with seeing beauty

the repulsive would follow

he saw the evil and horror

lack of soul left them hollow



He tried to help them

for years upon years

hardly changing a thing

his eyes swelled with tears



He could not give up

not with so many more

he could not back down

to this never ending chore



What was he to do then

surely there was a way

he just had to consider

the right thing to say



Suddenly it came to him

the world's chance for rebirth

he would send his only son

to the hell on earth



His son could help them

he could show them the light

maybe there was a chance after all

to help them choose the right



His son agreed to help

knowing his impending stride

to lead them to salvation

then eventually crucified





...a lifetime later...





Everything went as planned

he taught them fidelity

hoping when he was gone

they would still believe



When he returned to his father

he told him he truly tried

his father smiled in reply

unmistakenly gleaming with pride



They then turned to look down

on all those left behind

knowing they made a difference

in every single one's mind



For even those who did not believe

would never forget the sight

of the man who saved lives

the man who never put up a fight.



He died for our sins

that much is true

how could you not see

how much he loves you?
