What Are You Worth?

What Are You Worth?

What is a penny?

Worth?
Expensive!
Costs more than it’s worth.

What is a thought?
Worth?
Zilch!
Yet, it can change everything.

What is a memory?
Worth?
Priceless!
When it brings comfort.

What is a picture?
Worth?
Precious!
A moment you’ll never live again.

What is a remembrance?
Worth?
Connection!
It’s a link—to people, places, pieces of us—that time will remember.

What am I?
Worth?
Love!
Of course—love that I give and receive.

What are you?
Worth?
Precious!
I hope you see that.

How much are you?
Worth?
To me?
I can’t even say it…
I see it.

In the spaces between
Us…
I find beauty
In you
The care you gift.

Laughter lives in simple thoughts
You even listen to me—
Sometimes, we think in sync.

A picture—
of you…
I still see it,
Impressed on my emotion

That rose
In my garden
Reminds me—
An image,
Of you

All I can do is…
love you

And appreciate your
Incredible value
To me.

My Muse…
Is forever.

Intimacy…

Isn’t saying it…
It’s living your
Worth

And sharing it
With my
words.

Your value?

It’s everything—
The heart of
Your worth.

Are you priceless?
I shake my head
In realization
You are.

How are you…
Physically…moved?

What is it?
Worth?

Ahhh…
Your presence,

It’s simply…
You.

A rose?
In my garden?
Worth everything

I hope you know—

Your

Worth
Is more
than just a hug

I value you.

You are so
Beautiful;

What are you?
Worth?

I know—
I feel you
In my heart.

Have I visited
This reflection before?

How?
Beautiful
Are you?

I’ll look in the mirror…
And

I will
Simply
know.
