Value Yourself

Value yourself

It`s all I can say

Value yourself, everyday

Value yourself

No matter what

Other people might say

Value yourself

Start a journey

And value every step

All the way

Don`t look back

There`s no value back there

There`s no value back then

Value yourself

On going forward

And taking the value

Of your future

Into your hands

We are children of value

Remember

We were born in sin

But because God valued us

He still keeps us on the earth

To inherit it

You may ask

What is value?

How much money

Do you have in the bank?

What is the value

Of your house and car?

How much for the clothes

You are wearing?

Plus those jewelries

You are cherishing

That, my friend

Is not the definition

Of valuing yourself

We ignore the value within

And look for the value without

We seek that which

Cannot be found

In a treasure box

Beneath the deep blue seas

Because what is of utmost value

Is the core being

Of you and me

Love yourself

Respect yourself

And then you will be able

To value yourself

BROKEN WINGS

In this dark world of loneliness

I was consumed by thoughts

That no one cared

About me

Laden with anguish

Because of these:

Broken wings, broken dreams

And a broken heart

A broken soul, broken life

Torn apart

Shattered like glass

Both future and past

There were no answers

For all the questions that I asked

When you came along

And embraced me

I felt your healing powers

Vibrating through me

You changed my world

Transformed my life

And gave me a new heart

You healed my soul, my scars

And rid me

Of all fears and doubts

From a sorrowful life

To an awakening

That inspired the greatest of things

You have healed my broken wings

With your hands of love

And now I can freely soar

To the highest heights

My Life

I`d like to tell you my story

If you don`t mind

I won`t charge you a dollar

Or ask you for a coin

I`d like to tell you

How much I’ve been blind

Failing to see opportunities

From time to time

I`d like to share with you

My life of regrets

Wishing I could go back

And rearrange certain aspects

There is never a time

I don`t feel alone

Under-achieving and overgrown

My regular glance at the past

Caused me to lose focus

Of a future that is

Soon to pass

Who am I?

I often ask myself

Afraid to look in the mirror

Or I might see

Someone else

I looked for a change

But what should I expect

When the wheels of my life

Are running retrospect
