All I Need Is Love


What if I were stuck on an island,

All alone?

What is one thing I need?

Love.

Love is one thing I need.

I need to feel loved.

I need to be loved.

I need to love others.

 

Without love what is there?

There is an empty feeling inside of you.

There is a broken family with no hope of fixing the mess.

There is a couple falling apart wishing to feel again.

There is no kindness.

There is no healing.

There is no hope.

Without love there is nothing.

 

What is there with love?

There is a happiness exploding inside you.

There is a family enjoying their time spent together.

There is a couple getting married.

There is compassion.

There is healing.

There is life.

With love there is everything.

 

So when you ask me what I need

when I’m stuck on an island alone,

I will tell you that the only thing I need is love.

Because without love,

there is no way to survive.
