Do you know
What you have
if you have it
A place to call home
Somewhere to feel safe
To know you can speak
Freely
Without judgement?

Do you know what you have if you have it
A friend who understands without complaint
A hand, a shoulder, an ear?

Do you know what you have when you have it

A smile just for you
A look of unconditional love

Do you know?

Do you know what you have
If you have it
An open mind
A giving heart
A forgiving spirit?

Do you know
What treasure what gold
Do you know
what wealth
You have if you have it
When you wish well
For all
Without prejudice
Without malice
Without thought
That you have not
What they have?

Do you know?
