Heart and Soul


All I need is love,

Because love is where I find my home

Love is where i find my friends and family

They heal me with their kindness, they help me through my anger, they help me overcome

For all I need is food

For I can eat plenty

And share the rest with others, who have no food of their own

For when they do make it, and have food, they will share together

For all I need is water,

Water to give me the strength to go on

To shower, to drink, to swim,

Clean water is what I need,

For all I need is shelter,

A roof over my head,

To protect me from the cold and storms

I would invite my heart under this roof to share in food and drink

If they would so have me

But all I need is love.
