The Wanting

Teach me please, I want to learn, About the things for which I yearn. Understand my driving force, Learn to love without remorse. I need to think before I act, Foot in my mouth, a well known fact. Guidance, tuition, in all that I do, Not swallow the lies and forget what’s true. I need to feel and see what I need, Understand it and take it without greed. Build myself a much better me, Recognise the good in me that others see. I wish for lots, but don’t want much, The hands gesture of a gentle touch. True to life I wish to be, Confident and giving, a spirit that’s free. ©.L.Kelly
