Notes About The Poem

© Copyright 2016 by Bartholomew Williams; all rights reserved.

You Are Worth It

Every day and in every way, you are worth it.
Don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise.
Human beings intrinsically have value.
Leverage it with the good we do with our lives.

Pursuing those things that matter and last, such as;
Family ties, friends, stewardship, and creations.
Respect for all, compassion, and civility;
A dose of humility in our relations.

Beauty fades, fame is fleeting, fortunes can be lost.
What then shall be the measure of what we have done?
Being honest, ethical, and true to ourselves
Treasures our people and planet in the long run.
