Give me
I like my music loud
Songs from the heart
That not even time can silence
Give me a good song
loud with words
I can sing along to
Like nobody's watching
I like my books
Quiet at night
while every one else is asleep
Give me a book
late at night
So I can sink into other worlds
While my world sleeps
I like my poetry
Words from the soul
Speaking the unspoken
Give me poetry
straight from the soul
Fearless of what others think
Unafraid of harsh words
I like my family
Loving arms stretched out
A seat at the table when you need it most
Give me family
Always there for me
Shoulders to cry on
Hearts open wide
I like my friends
Loyal and kind
Family without the shared blood
Give me friendship
That lasts throughout the ages
Friends that are more like family
And I will be content.
