The Meaning of You

The Meaning of You

 

In a world with many people,

You may feel small.

Like your life

Means nothing at all.

 

Billions of people walk the earth,

And you don’t feel your worth.

Just another head in the crowd,

Spatting your words.

 

Think not that you don’t matter,

For you are more precious than you know.

A light in someone’s life,

A smile that someone’s love so.

 

A friend to touch,

When no one else can get through.

An answer to someone’s prayer,

The meaning of you.

 

To fill a certain void,

To reach a heart lost.

To love and be loved.

To make a difference, to hope.

 

So, smile your biggest smile,

And love with all your truth.

Never underestimate

The meaning of you.

Thank you Melinda for this inspiring write. Each one of us has the ability to make a difference to the life of others. A kind word, a smile can surely light up a face. Each of us needs to remember we have that power within us to make a difference.

Very inspirational words to live by. For such a small and simple word 'Hope' can change the world and someone's life as well. Thank you for sharing your poem, Melinda.

Self worth... So true! There's a saying if you don't love yourself, nobody else is going to love you... A contented heart can make others happy.... So beautiful this write is...
