Our Self Worth

Too much, far too much
our sense of self, of our happiness
tied to our wealth, to our net worth
to the things we have garnered in
Our self worth, our true self
measured not by what we have
but by what we give
Servants to our neighbors
good, loving care
seeing the face of Christ
in our brother, our sister
sharing our lives with one another
being Christ to the world
