The Struggle

How can one feel worthy when the world seems to revolve around women with children?
When media, commercials, television programs, magazines, and books center around Mothers?

I am worthy.

When you are excluded from office gossip because it centers around children?
When your pastor waxes poetic about family, which is code for children?

I am worthy.

"How can I be worthy?" I ask myself on a daily basis.

I am worthy.

I am loved and have loved so many others.
I have saved many lives in the course of my work.
I donate time, resources, and blood.

But still there is the niggling doubt that is reinforced by society.

Am I Worthy?

It's a daily struggle but yes, I AM WORTHY!
