Love Poem: My Worth

My Worth

My worth is not in what I own -
In real estate, or company,
Big car or boat, prized jewelry,
Investments that have grown.

My worth is not in what I do -
The job I work, or what I’m paid
Awards, promotions, deals I’ve made;
How nice the office view.

My worth is not in art I make -
A poem or melodious line,
A bridge or building I design,
Or photos that I take.

My worth exists externally –
In God, my wife, daughter and sons.
My worth is measured in the ones
I love and who love me.
