Beautiful Sacrifice

Sunshine through the night
Rainbows during a storm when all seems dire
Solid ground in a mudslide
Rainfall killing the forest fire

A chest of gold, when I have no money
A constellation in the stars
A loving, beautiful potter
Who decides to indwell his gifts in clay jars

A map for the lost
A shepherd for the sheep
A guide dog for the blind
A gift I'd be foolish not to keep

A ram in the bush
A flood wall taking the wave for the town
A man taking a bullet for his inferior
Protecting the other while laying his life down
