Everything I Need
If life taught me anything,
It taught me –
Love is the only thing
worth everything
love is worth more than things
more than cars or trinkets
more than pearls or diamonds
more than a house so inviting
love is worth more than dreams
more than poetry and prose
more than inklings of creative hopes
more than a vision, a famed note
love is worth more than trips
more than vacation settings
more than cruise or cabin
more than a luxurious spa
if life has taught me anything at all,
it taught me –
love is the one thing
more important than anything
love is the one thing more important
than all the items money can buy,
all the blue in the big autumn sky,
all the warmth of a summer’s night…
love is the reason that I will always try
love is the reason that I’ll never say goodbye
to the one who I love more than my own life –
if life has taught me anything – it’s that love is truly everything!
