Inherent Worth

Every day is a new day
for planting snapdragons.
Digging into the soil,
fingernails dirty
brow damp with sweat,
working the earth to hold
those pale green slips
of orange and red.

Every day is a new day
for forgiving myself.
Giving into the fact
that I entered the world
naked and crying,
needing everything the world
would give back only because
of my inherent worth of being.
