All I Need


The one thing I can not live without

One who breathed into my mouth.

He took a rib from one man's side.

He formed and shaped  me to be tall and wide.

He gave me a nose,

Cilia and hair.

His eyes so bright. I could not bare.

I'm a baby,

I'm a teen.

That's what I mean.

Your're my child

You were unseen.

A woman with a wound

you birthed in me.

You're my god

so now I see.

It is your love

that  I believe

Your spirit, my God is all I need .
