So often we take for granted those who, without any expectations of applause, give of themselves willingly and freely. Thousands daily make some kind of sacrifice, whether it's arising at dawn to make a living for their families, or showing love for the unlovely, they give and give. This little poem is my simple way of saying "Thank you."

What If...

No one loved his country enough to sacrifice for it;

No one cared enough to feed a hungry child;  

No one risked failure in the rough games of life;

No one tended the sick and dying in a hospital;

 No one climbed to the top of Mount Everest for the view;

And, no one ever heard of the Lamb of God on a cross?
