i am nothing

less than nothing

small

puny

insignificant

my best efforts to serve You

dust at the side of the road

cast aside and trodden underfoot

as those with greater treasure

lay it before Your throne

amid shouts of praise

and I am here

stricken dumb

at the worthlessness of my own

would that i had something of value

to join my praise to theirs

and give You glory
