Esteem

Esteem

A Poem by Leviathus Fortes

I can be high or low
You can give it to yourself
But the one thing that you can't do
Is receive it from someone else

I carry with me quality
I have of me a worth
I'm more value than money
I've been with you since your birth

WheImed I can be, over
But under just as much
Treat me with the respect that I deserve
And I will allow you to feel my touch

Please don't look down on me
Instill in me, your pride
I can carry you throughout your life
Acknowledge me, please do not hide

I'd like to take you by the hand
And guide you on your way
Talk to me, I always listen
To every single word you say

I value our relationship
Many years, I hope we share
I will always be here with you
I always will, because I care

I'd like to take you by the hand
And guide you on your way
Talk to me, I always listen
To every single word you say

I love the entire poem and the message in your words, but the above verse is my favorite. So much compassion. Beautifully penned.
