Worthy

Tayama

Lord, am I worthy?

To my wife...my children?

My friends who believe?

To the ones that come to me for comfort, relief?

Or is my worthiness my own selfish pride?

For am I not seeking the admiration of others?

For I am worthy only by you.

Can I ever be humbled enough to ever even believe I could?

To be, I must release myself and all that I once believed defined a man of worthiness.

For I was lost with a heart forever closed.

Worthiness could never be...

Yet the truth could enter me?

May I now be worthy?

I'll wait for you to answer me...

While I wait, I will cease to talk about if I am worthy and simply begin to act like I am. 

For worthiness will come as all that keeps it hidden, is released.

My ability to be the constant opposite of what it should and could be.

    We shouldn’t have to ask others if we are worthy .. because we just are .. even if we may not feel that way
