What makes a person
Valid for care
What makes their value grow
Love, goodies or solid gold?

What makes a person
Valid for rest
Never having to tip their toes
To be careful and wary of tests

What makes a person
Valid for respect
When people will stop questioning their abilities  
And for salutes to greet their days

What makes a person
Valid for a smile
A genuine brightness that meets theirs, unconditionally
One that settles them, no matter how horrible a day gets

What makes a person
Valid for mercy
To be immune to every fall in life
And learn to know
That they deserve way more than these daily tortures and fights
