I need you not only

                for the shelter where we live,

                for the food and drink,

                and all the clothes you give.

I also need you

                to calm my fears,

                to comfort me,

                and wipe away my tears.

I need you not only

                for your words of advice,

                to show me what is foolish

                and what is wise.

I need a chance

                to go to school and learn,

                to read and write,

                and maybe even to earn.

I need a world

                where I can live in peace,

                free from hunger,

                war and disease.
