Fair to Compare

Though they are flawed
human motives blurred
maybe not so pure of heart
as the one who climbed the cross

But fair to compare
a sacrifice for us
for the greater good
not focused on themselves

So many veterans
those who chose to serve
sacrificing all for us
that we would be free

Like Christ in service
submitting their will
offering their lives for us
that we would truly live

Veteran’s Day
&
the sacrifice of Jesus Christ
