Maybe there is more to life than
living. Existence has more meaning as a means. Maybe life's a gift that's well worth giving Once the sacrifice distills the dreams. Remember, then, the heroes we have squandered In ignorance and fear and lust and greed. All sacrifice ought equally be honored Lest we confuse the courage with the need. Destiny decrees the undreamed end As some die for the dreams they would defend, Yet yearning for what lies beyond the deed. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
