Basic Needs

Food, shelter and water Basic needs of life. But not enough For anyone to thrive. Touch, warmth and love Better serve the need. A smile, a hand, a hug Wouldn’t you agree? Survival alone Not enough to feel alive Shameful so many Are so deeply deprived. More important today A sense of humor is high On the list of the things We need to get by. Expressing ourselves In creative ways. Perfect outlets are few In choices these days. Friends and family Love through it all. They see the need In the writing on the wall.
