This Much
This Much
this much I need and a bit more
a smiling face to go with the knock at my door
the wind that blows and the snow that falls
childrens laughter echoing down the halls
a rose in bloom beside the garden path
a robin sitting upon the edge of the bird bath
a dear friend to drop by and sit
to share sweet memories for a bit.
this much I need and a little more
sometimes things are worth asking for
a comrade to be near, to learn to face my fears
to speak of folks with kind words
tell the good things we have heard
the comfort of family and friends
to cherish the time with them you spend
hope that these things never end
this much I need and so much more
I crave, I hunger, I long for
I need a house, I need a warm fire
whatever else I may desire
to have a special someone in my heart
pray we are strong enough that we don't fall apart
a bit of food to eat, a good book to read
hope it's not to much to ask, this much I need
