Worth

Worth

When you see a child and he or she is smiling then life is worth living
When you see a child and him or she is trying to do something right then life is worth living
When you see a child and he or she come to you for advice then tell them the truth then life is worth living
When you see a child and you want to help them learn to be a better person then life is worth living
When you see a child grow into a man or a woman respect them then life is worth living
When you see a man or a woman and the child has gone from their eyes then life is worth nothing
When you read this and you disagree with anything I’ve said then look at the sentence above or say nothing.
