Essential to Life


To the grind everyday

 To the green I grapple to receive

 To the things only money can buy

 Do I need this?

 

The laughter and the memories

The sneers and upsets

The friends for only awhile

 Do I need this?

 

 Through all the swirls and dips of life

Through all the crazy of being the youngest of seven

 Through them all I find serenity

Do I need my family?

Yes
