What Am I Worth
by
Jo Ann Mann
I am a baby elephant
Growing inside my mother
What am I worth?
Someday humans will kill me for my tusks
Man will let me be born for my worth
My Mommy wants me just for me
I am a little puppy
Growing inside my mother
What am I worth?
Someday I will love and guard my master
Man will let me be born for I will be his pet
My Mommy wants me just for me
I am a Spotted Owl
Growing inside the egg my mother laid
What am I worth?
Man will let me born because he protected me from the start
My Mommy wants me just for me
I am a little kitty
Growing inside my mother
What am I worth?
Man will let me be born for I am cute and cuddly
My Mommy wants me just for me
I am a baby seal
Growing inside my mother
What am I worth?
Man will let me be born so he can have my skin
My Mommy wants me just for me
I am a baby rattlesnake
Growing inside my mother
What am I worth?
Not much to man, but he will let me be born
My Mommy wants me just for me
I am a baby human
Growing inside my mother
What am I worth?
My mother doesn’t want me
She thinks I have no worth
I wish my Mommy would want me just for me
I am Jesus Christ
Growing inside my mother
What am I worth?
More to mankind than all the creatures of the earth
My Mommy wants me just for me
To all the babies who are not yet born
What are you worth?
You are priceless in the eyes of your Heavenly Father
God wants you for Himself!
