Poem Artwork

Have you lost value because of your age?
Is your significance determined by skin?
Do you feel like you're not enough
Are you too fat or maybe too thin?
Is it your bank balance 
or the cars that you drive,
the vacations you take
or how hard you strive?

 No, this is a lie, and
it's one that's grown old.
Your value doesn't grow
in the ways you've been told.
It's not your looks 
or your possessions
None of these things
will leave lasting impressions

 It's the love in your eyes
The soft touch of your hand
It's the kindness you show
When you understand.
Your value can't be found
In anything outside
Just dig down deeper
And you'll find it inside.

 

Love on...

So true, or as that worldly philosopher, Anonymous, put it: "The richest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least."

So wise, Chanti. So true. Guilty as charged am I but your verses steer me (and our readers) in the right direction. Blessing of love, peace, and all good to you.

Prosetry at Work by Odin odin@aflx.com

This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses the dominant thoughts occupying my mind during the early morning hours of a given day.
