What is your worth?
Is it the money you have earned?
Or the house that you have built?
Is it the places you go
Or the applause you get?
Is it the admiring glance
Of the crowds cheering,
Or the many accolades
You have earned?
We love to quantify people’s worth
In terms of money, or marks in exams.
But I wonder
What is really a person’s worth.
A hand extended,
A soothing word,
A loving smile
A shoulder to lean on.
I believe
a person’s worth
is how much of a human being he is.
