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.
