-Need


I do not need to be wined or dined
Riches l do not require
Jewels, fancy cars, gifts
Are not what l desire

What l truly do need in my life
Is readily available and free
It fills my being with contentment
Simply  “makes me happy”

Love and laughter in abundance
Kindness and cuddles galore
Embracing life, being safe and happy
 I want for nothing for more
