Nothing I say today
will be especially wise
Nothing I feel today
will be unique to me
Nothing I cook today
will amaze any tastebuds
Nothing I write today
will be new words
And yet
Nothing I hear today
can make me feel badly
Nothing I start
Nothing I finish
Nothing I think on
Nothing I forget
Nothing today
Not one single thing
will impact my worth
No matter my feelings, my words, my skills
No matter my hurts, my worries, my fears
I shine filled with grace
with love and hope
For God’s love is pure
and grace so freely given
that nothing I do
nothing that’s done
will add or diminish
will polish or dirty
God’s treasured creation
that is me
