I am not worth much
in the monetary sense
my bankbook needs
an iron pill...
and when I die
my body will be
worth $4.50
$3.50 for the skin
and a buck for all else
some sobering facts
right there, my friend
so how do I have the nerve
to see myself as gift?
well, I am gift
as you are gift
what defines us
cannot be measured
in monetary or any other terms
only that...
when I look into your eyes
I gaze into the face of God
only that...
hearing your voice
ignites my very soul
only that....
my gift and yours
emanate from the same Giver...
only that...
