A Sacrifice

Offering us a sacrifice means work,
Guiding us along the path of much darkness.
We regret and undo the deeds of health,
A shadow displays the wonder of light.
Healthy men and women understand
Your preferences, your food and dislikes.
Pages of distance are written to unite
The bookmen of old and new.
A second to dim health is in the very heart
Inside the hearts, inside the very beating hearts.
