Alone

Alone

As I hear the birds chatter gossip in the trees
I am all alone
with no-one to hold and share in loves intimacy

Spring is in the air!
Squirrels darting while courting with play
Bunnies hop with joy as they nuzzle with sweet care
Sweet, fragrant scent of flowers, blossoming forth from earthen clay
 insects are buzzing with affection throughout the spring air
even a mothers love is fawning over her baby deer

I choose to live simply
because I never had much
but it is awfully lonely
forgetting how to be tenderly touched

It is so much easier to fear than to love
far too easy to be stubborn
than admit I could use a hug

But I thirst for love 
like a cold mountain stream
to breathe life back into me

A Love to remind me
that I am still a human being...
