People need people and friends need friends

And we 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 some how 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

Thinking of you and thinking too,

How life is enriched by someone like you.
