Walk down a street in any city, what do you find?
Debris on the sidewalk, abandoned buildings,
people coming and going.
Look long enough, you'll see a diamond in the rough.
Someone who's light shines brighter than the sun.
These are the ones who make life worthwhile.
The sacrifices they've made, pain they endured,
does not even come close to what they give in return.
Selfless and caring,
they create a better place for everyone else.
It is the people with the least to lose,
who often give the most to others,
to the point of neglecting their own desires.
The compensation these chosen ones receive?
Only the contentment of knowing what they do is right.
In the end though,
these will be the ones who will be given the eternal gift of life.
On behalf of all people,
Thank God for the chosen ones!
