* I Need Nothing

I need nothing because of You.
I find myself wanting everything though.
The nicest cars, nice clothes, house, money,
but, still I find no comfort, I am not happy
in these things that I want, that I desire.
More and more, a little is not enough for me.
But the truth is right here in front me everyday.
It's You I need, I want I desire because I am
lost, broken, unhappy with out in my life.
Remind me everyday that the material things,
are fun for awhile but they can't get you through
the many storms that arise in life, those things,
can't comfort your breaking heart, or heal a soul
that is so wounded it is only in You I find comfort.
