Cindy Martz Poet I do not know?

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
