“Son, I have something
To tell you.”
My son asked what
It was.
“It’s a very hard thing
To say.
My heart aches,
But I have
No say in this.”
My son wanted
To know what
It was.
“You will be
Sacrificed today.
Please do not ask
Questions.
It must be so.”
I said, with tears
Welling in my eyes.
My son asked whether
I wished him
To be sacrificed;
If I really wanted it.
”I have
No say in this,
My son.
I love you
More than anything
In this world.
But please understand-”
And that was when
A human named Abraham
Picked up
My son.
