A Measure of Worth

Too often 
we measure our worth
by all we have
become...

excluding the far greater

all that we have
avoided becoming....

Thank you so much. You are very kind. I would rather be nothing in the eyes of the world, if something, anything of value in the eyes of God. Too often, myself guilty in the past, when I read poetry the "I" is prominent. I have come to a point in life where I would rather less to stand-out, be a dominant personality, and more to be part of the blended solutions.
