SACRIFICE by RAY CLARKE ROSE

First Line: THERE ARE NO HEIGHTS WE MAY NOT REACH
Last Line: IT CAME AND JOINED ME ON THE HEIGHT!
Subject(s): DESIRE; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
There are no heights we may not reach;
There are no depths we may not touch;
And aye the Sacred Voice shall teach:
"Who rises high shall forego much!"

For long I wooed my First Desire—
It foiled me in its teasing flight;
And then I left it, to aspire—
It came and joined me on the Height!
