a loss

by Emily Davidson

when it is
for the greater good
when it is
the right thing and
the best solution
there is no place
for an objection

there is nothing for him here;
i've watched this place
weigh him down
i've watched each day
dissolve him

so he will go
and gain something more

but for me
it is a loss

Beautifully captured. Just amazing.

If I read this correctly, I'd say a good title would be, "Compassion Leads". Or the Scriptural injunction to think of others before one self! This certainly conveys that Idea.
