A house in the country and a shiny new car.
A trendy wardrobe or bundle in a jar.
An Amazing career that fits like a glove
aren't anywhere as precious as someone to love!
Someone to hold you when life gets you down;
who understands and erases that frown,
but also to argue with or disagree
and exchange gifts with under the Christmas tree.
We can do without luxury, money and more
as long as there's someone to share our front door.
Someone to laugh with or wipe away the tears;
someone to lean on in good or bad years.
There's someone for everyone I am told.
Love is essential to both young and old.
Age, colour, religion, hetero or gay;
love doesn't discriminate in any way.
People need people to survive;
to give life purpose and to feel alive.
Love is the force behind humanity;
the thin line between sense and insanity.
When all is said and done, in fact,
love is what keeps this world in tact.
A gift to mankind sanctioned from above;
all any of us ever really need is love!
Ellen Francis Bergakker
