Description Sparkling beside me
You’re always there
Just like a sign of peace

Your shadow strays backwards
As though you see all around
Reminding me you care for me

Familiar figure
Speaks of times gone by
When you gave everything

Such sacrifice
The depth unknown to anyone
An impossible imagination

You gave what we would save
You forfeited a part of yourself
for a race so unworthy

What we would spare at all costs,
You surrendered,
With a certainty I cannot comprehend.

In darkness so profound
You manage to see.
You walk with confidence
When I cannot

You crouch to serve us
When we fail to serve you

You amaze me

a great poem...you've described something that i've never been able to put into words, although i'm not exactly sure what my beliefs are...

I've never been religious, but this is still very touching for me. Emotional without being cliched - well done.

I'm glad to hear you got something out of it without being religious yourself. That is what I was hoping for.
