Our Wants Turning Into Needs


Coming into a sinful world as someone that don't no much about life,

As we get older we want so much but what exactly do we need,

We want shoes, we want clothes, we want money but only have life,

We have to take what life gives us,

We never think about what we need,

It's not much that I really need but its something the world can not provide,

All I want is to be happy,

Do I really need to be happy,

How can I be happy and there's nothing happy about the world,

There's nothing happy about life,

I have a great imagination of all my wants but not of my needs,

All I want to love..........

Honestly love is all I need.
