No Matter What
January 6, 2013 by Christine of Worth&Wisdom
Being a good person
loving and caring
Being a good teacher
guiding and imparting
Being a good partner
considerate and helpful
Being a good provider
feeding and sheltering
Being a good coach
available and accountable
Being a good child
obedient and achieving
Being a good parent
shaping and modeling
Being a good friend
listening and encouraging
All good things
Yes, indeed
Yet
not one of my roles
not one of the things I do
no matter how “good”
I am at it
no matter how “bad”
I am at it
not one of these things
determines my worth
I have worth.
I have value.
No matter what.
