Worth

Worth is not in the doing
It is in the being that is me

It is not in what I do
But how I do it, you see

I can put love into something simple
I can leave a message of peace

It isn't because of the limits
That I stop being and that I freeze

I know what is important to me
And I put it in all that I do

Whether it is in typing this poem
Or yet another visit to the loo

I can express myself in words
Or in the thoughts of my mind

Truly we all are worthy
We are all one of a kind

We can not see our thoughts
But we sure feel the energy range

My thoughts can be elevating
And that too can bring change

The atmosphere of the world
Can use some sparkling delight

And I can contribute
Even though I may be out of sight

Like a great speaker once said
be brave and believe in your worth

The door of the cage is open
We are not a caged bird.

For sure we may be limited
in what we are able to do

But not in what we put in it
That matters for me and for you

So thank you for being you
in every aspect of the way

And may we always feel valued
Because worthy we will stay
