A Woman's Worth - Visitor's Poem

by Kimberly Renee' Rawls
(Athens, AL, USA)

A woman’s worth is determined by
how much she values herself.
If her thoughts of herself are dwindling,
then the same will be true of her wealth.
I recognize that I am a treasure
bearing rubies, diamonds, and gold.
My treasure has not been found yet,
and its whereabouts will remain untold.
One day someone shall find me and
a fortunate man he will be.
He will open the lock and finally release
all the beauty of his woman to be.
With confidence I will
shine like the diamonds
that once were hidden inside.
My wealth will be more than rubies,
for no price can be put on my life.
Like gold I’ll be tried in the fire,
and I’ll come out as pure as can be.
And that day shall be reminiscent
as the era in my life,
when a treasure was found in me.
