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 worldly 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.
~ Helen Steiner Rice
Such true words Coreen. I am very vulnerable at the present and these words hit home.

ReplyDeletelove that poem.
ReplyDeleteand we're kind of on the same wave length tonight! :)
Helen Steiner Rice poems are so beautiful and meaningful. I enjoy reading them so much! Sometimes I think if everyone who needs someone would be someone to someone else, everyone would have someone! OK, maybe I'm tired and can't think straight.....
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful poem. To have people in your life who love you is to have it all.
ReplyDeleteHope your move hasn't been too stressful.
Sharing and caring...should be the glue of humanity!!
