What I Need

To keep me going, what I need

(Aside from kith and kin)

Is time to walk and write and read 

Each day, through thick and thin.


Of course, there’s food and drink, I guess,

And music and TV

And crossword puzzles; I confess

They mean a lot to me.


Still, spending hours with those who care 

(Up close or on the phone)

Is what supports the way I fare

When I am on my own.


And in that space, I read and walk,

Plus take the needed time 

To listen as my brain cells talk

And capture it in rhyme.
