Love & Sacrifice Poem by Sven Rhoads

From all your deeds you have painted a portrait
A beauty that has been laying beyond my eyes
Blindsided me in the sweetest of all ways
And deep in my heart there's no way to deny

Exceed the expectations by light years
At a loss for words I remain in awe
Your sacrifice that has reached where no hands could
Smiling ten miles wide from all that I saw

There is no love without sacrifice
And all this love you gave I drown in
Done so much more than what could suffice
Forever in your debt I'm residing
To give it all with the beat of the heart
Too many emotions to process in time
Never again shall we be pulled apart
The bond that's forged we've made divine

May the embrace never come to end
Becoming more than just mere friends
As the sun beating down will shine
This unity now has become sublime

Let us venture to where tomorrow grows
To see how much further things may go
For our sacrifices will feed this love
Until nothing needs to even be said
