Self Worth

Self worth is such a hard thing for us to accept

Realization and believing, I think, is the toughest part to deal with

We all think we are not worthy of something or someone

Yet in the eyes of others we are more precious than anything

Self worth I think is the hardest thing to come to terms with

We often think...why me? How could I be worth so much?

I don't deserve such caring and attention from everyone

But it is in the eyes of friends we soon begin to feel worthy

The only obstacles now are to accept it, and believe it is true

If a friend tells you they want to do something special for you

Why is it we can't always accept that special gift from them?

No matter how big or small the gift, it's the thought that matters

It is merely a simple token of their appreciation toward you

That friend obviously feels you have done something very worthwhile

Look deep inside yourself and do your best to see what makes you special

Being special may be something very simple that makes you shine

Just being who you are makes you worthy to others around you

The task is now yours, to accept your self worth and be happy with it

Look in a mirror and keep saying to the image you see...I am worth it

This caring is what I deserve..and I accept it with great pride

You will soon see what it is others see in you that makes you worthy of love

To me everyone is worth so much, and it is up to us to let them know it
