Something Better

How do I give something up that’s so dear to me?
Abraham did.
He sacrificed
His only son
Whom he loved.
He was willing to give it up
Because he believed
That God would give him
Something better.
God did.
He sacrificed His only Son
Whom He loved
He knew that the sacrifice was a way
To get
Something better
Can I give up Christiana?
My dear sister
Whom I love
Can I be willing to give it up for
Something better?
