It is a Feeling

It is not something I can hold

Not something I can touch,

Not even something I can see, smell, or hear.

But it is the one thing I cannot live without.

It is something that I feel.

In my heart, in my soul, in every inch of my body.

This is the one thing I cannot live without.

It makes me feel warm and secure

Even in the chilly sting of winter.

This is the one thing I cannot live without

It makes me feel wanted and important

Even on a deserted island all alone.

This is the one thing I cannot live without.

It comes in endless amounts.

And it will never run out.

This is the one thing I cannot live without.

You can give it and receive it.

It doesn’t take wealth or beauty.

This is the one thing I cannot live without.

The one thing I cannot live without

Is being loved and adored.

Even if it is only by one person.

It is the one thing I could not live a day without.
