Everyone Needs Someone
People need
people and friends need friends
And we all need love for a
full life depends
Not on vast riches or great acclaim,
Not on success or on worldy fame,
But just in knowing
that someone cares
And holds us close in their thoughts
and prayers-
For only the knowledge that we're understood
Makes everyday living feel wonderfully good,
And we
rob ourselves of life's greatest need
When we "lock up our
hearts" and fail to heed
The outstretched hand reaching to
find
A kindred spirit whose heart and mind
Are lonely
and longing to somehow share
Our joys and sorrows and to
make us aware
That life's completeness and richness
depends
On the things we share with our loved ones
and
friends.
