What Is My Worth?

Am I worth my weight in jewels?
Or maybe of diamonds and pearls?
Can I be bought with silver and gold
or maybe ten times in fold?

NO! I am worth much more than that
So very much more, in fact
My heart and soul are worth much more
Much more than anything you ever saw

My dignity is my treasure
But my pride will be my fall
Being myself has been a pleasure
Always be yourself is my call

Always strive to uphold the right
Be proud, stand up tall and firm
Be that shining beacon in the night
And you shall indeed be their guiding light
