You are worth everything

you give so generously to others.

To believe differently

is to undermine

the value of all of us…

You are worth

every effort to succeed,

every moment 

of healing solitude…

With each kindness

you give to yourself

you remind us

that we are worth the same.

You are deserving 

of receiving the love

you give so easily,

 your stubbornly and persistently

soft heart

requires the boundaries

you must set

to keep yourself whole

and illuminated.

You are worth living for.

That is reason enough

to stay.
