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 outstreched 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.
