My Intrinsic Value*
By Larry Chadwick

I was soiled by my life,
Completely beaten down.
Oppressed by my humanity,
Feeling like a clown.

Questioned my own worth,
And needing confirmation.
Wandering all alone,
Starving for admiration.

How could I find value,
In a life so poorly spent?
When I found the answer,
I knew it was heaven sent.

No matter what I’ve done,
Reprehensible and bad,
My God will not forsake me,
You’d think he was my dad.

Just like coins that are abandoned,
Left lying in the dirt.
I’ll always have some value,
Even if my soul is hurt.

February 1, 2002

*Memories from my adolescence...

Reflective mood? You already know you are the value-added model.  It's good to know where you fit in the overall picture, isn't it? You are the cream that rises to the top.
