He stood before the altar,
Head bowed, acquiescent;
Hands out-turned, submissively
attuned,
Ready for the consequence,
Prepared to pay the sentence
For another,
Though the cost may be his life.
Heavy is the burden he
Must bear to love another.
Cold and hard the shackles of defense.
Knowingly he gives himself.
Unafraid he stands,
Quite prepared to make the sacrifice.
