Needed and Wanted Too

[Rufus Curtis]

Being needed and wanted too
seems too much to hope for
But my friend I am telling you
That is what I long for

Being needed would make me smile
and chase away my tears
Being wanted would make me sigh
and fill my heart with cheer

Sometimes I don't feel either one
and that gives me the blues
Then from life I just want to run
for I feel I've paid my dues

The ones I hope need and want me
sometimes act like they do
Today I really need to see
that I'm needed and wanted too

Beautiful expression of the human innermost longing, Rufus. Great poem!

As you said in your other post, Rufus, being needed is as important as being wanted and both are as important as being loved. The three go hand-in-hand in my book......thank you for your postings......KayD
