All I Need is a Laughing Heart

All I Need is a Laughing Heart

Someone to come home to with open arms

Someone to hold my hand

who promises to understand

All I Need is a Goofball

to share my jokes with 

to help me smile when gravity

pulls the courners of my lips down.

All I Need is a Friend

Who doesn't make me nervous to be myself-

but encourages me to be nothing but myself

and, for them, the best that I can be

All I Need is a Hug

Someone to stroke my hair

when my fears haunt the night

replacing them with cozy dreams

All I Need is Love
