For me to feel like I am whole,

I find these needs within my soul:

A hunger for blue sapphire skies,

A loving look in my friend’s eyes,

Cascading leaves from trees that dance,

A laugh of pure exuberance,

Starlight upon my upturned face,

The loving warmth from an embrace,

A baby held against my breast,

And sweet uninterrupted rest,

A chance to lay my burdens down,

And know that I am heaven bound.

In the declining years that pass,

I find these are the things that last.
