There is an imaginary forcefield that separates what we want from what we actually need. 

This barrier is usually the filter of discernment bewteen necessity and greed. 

I used to think that I needed things, usually material, in order to keep me happy, 

to make me feel successful and to have the approval of others. 

An unplanned child, fast forward to the responsiblities and this is what I have uncovered. 

The gratification that once could be acquired by a trip to the mall, is so shallow and meaningless that it's once revered importance is hard o recall.

What I truly need to keep me going day to day, to keep me pushing for better, the reward for my hardworkis really quite simple

It's seeing my daughter's beautiful smile, you'll understand if you've seen her dimple.

Knowing she is safe and happy, knowing the role I play in her beautiful existence is really quite special.

Her silly knock knock jokes starring the interrupting cow, she provides food for my soul, the light the end of my tunnel,

She saved me from myself. She made me grow up. She gave a life I was wrecking one worth living. 

She is my inspiration and she is all that I need.
