Selfless Sacrifice

Hair as dark as midnight

Eyes of cobalt blue

A body that rivals those of the gods

His family was on his mind

As he made that final decision

But where would his journey end?

In a sunlit forest grove

Or in a twilight realm where flame controls all?

It didn't matter to him

One thing mattered more than everything else

Protecting those that he loved

The first embrace his son ever received from him was the last

He'd never return home again

All disappeared in a flash of light and he was gone

One would think that no tears would be shed over the loss

But he will forever be in our hearts

His selfless sacrifice

Made him into a savior
