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

I don't need things. I need encouragement, love, support, and hugs. I need acceptance, validation, and safety. Not much, right? Have a splendid evening, Sara
