Not Really Very Much
What do people really need
To live a life that’s guaranteed
To let them blossom and succeed?
Not really very much.
A home they like and clothes to wear,
Some friends and family who care,
A job or craft with time to spare
And Nature’s gentle touch.
If all the basic needs are met,
With war or sickness not a threat,
There shouldn’t be a cause to fret,
Yet most require a crutch.
