Listen To the Warm

Quote “it happens just because we need to want and to be wanted too, when love is here or gone to lie down in the darkness and ……  listen to the warm”
				Rod McKuen


LISTEN to the warm…..

We all feel the need to be wanted by someone
At some time in our long lives, particularly by
The ones we love oh so deep in our hearts
We feel that they are breaking if not acknowledged
You want that happiness that can only be shared
By the one who holds it in the palm of their hand
Then we will lie in the darkness deep in the night
And wish that they were still here on earth
To have fun with and be merry in their mirth
But our imagination will provide us with all the answers
That we want and need to feel in our waking hours
So snuggled in the warmth and the lightness in our hearts
We are able to be at peace with ourselves and truly feel wanted
