There is a word
I am wondering what people think the "word" is that she is writing about. My son and I think it is the word "sacrifice." It has barbed syllables and is "mute" as soon as the sacrifice is made. Those that were saved by the sacrifice, can live to tell the story. And, a sacrifice is made for a cause. The cause is remembered but not the person. However, I get lost in the last stanza.
