You may not have
A dollar in hand
You may not have
A residence to call home
You may not have
Transport to call your own
Yet deep within your heart
Your inner makeup
Is a magnificent work of art
Your person
A kaleidoscope of many colors
Your disposition faithful and true
The spirit within glorious too
What you possess
Is far better and greater
Than any earthly commodity
It takes a quickened heart
An awakened eye
To even see

What you possess within
Enabling you
To repeatedly overcome and win
Is the essential foundation
The ebb and flow
Of the new creation
Better than net worth
A financial portfolio
Or a strong balance sheet
Better than a bikini clad body
On the cover of a magazine
More desirous and needful
Than the accolades of men
Increasingly more satisfying
Than your very best friend
More dear than
Your most loved family member
This personal quality is cohesive
Never to dismember
Never to succumb
To manipulation
Never to yield
With hesitation
Never to surrender
For monetary gratification

Standing tall and sure
In the dark of midnight
Inwardly illuminating
When all is not right
Holding to truth
