All I need is a fresh breeze to breath

Sunshine to kiss my skin

and you to love me again and again

I need clean flowing rivers

and gentle lakes to view

fish biting at the end of my pole

Children's laughter

and sweet dreams

Yes, that I need

The twinkle in an elderly eye

explaining life and how to get by

blessed with their beautiful smile

Yes, this I need

I need a loving father

up above

to daily show me his love

and save me from all my whims

 to lift me up and always bless

even when I am a total mess

Yes, I need this

I need your arms to hold me tight

each and every dark night

be by my side

through thick and thin

open my heart

let it trust and love again

yes, this I need

I need the solitude of

a nice long walk

seeing nature

 fresh each day

Lord just allow me

Yes, this I need

I need to hug my children

every day

never be to old for me to say

I love you

I've been so very blessed

Yes, this I need

I need friend's that accept

me

Just as I am

faults and mistakes

I'm bound to make

Please forgive me

 for pity's sake

Let me count on you

when times are tough

That will always be enough

Pray for me when you see I'm wrong

help lift me up and make me strong

Yes, this I need

In return

I'll do the same

Nature, Earth, Sky

protect

Pray a plenty

for both of us

watch if you should ever fall

and reach out to catch

each and every tear

always have an open ear

Be a friend

that holds you dear

and never walks away

Yes, this I need

and we all need today
