My value is in my heart My value is in my persistence My value is in my perseverance My value is in my open ear For another to confide in My lack of judgment When another needs freedom From being judged My value is in my warmth My value is in my guidance My value makes me love Shining through to others On their dark days My value is in my support Not in my scientific expertise Not in my money stacks Or the home I own My value is in the way The songs I sing touch other's souls Not in the talent itself Not in the limitations Society imposes on me My value is in loving you So truly that you accept it My value is in my soul Shining bright in the sun Greater than gold or precious gemstones
