All I Need
All I need is connection.
A person, place,
A thing
To gain perspective from.
All I need is to observe.
To be engaged,
Connect,
Reflect,
And try to understand.
All I need is to listen.
To be attentive,
Mindful,
Insightful.
To be guided by others.
All I need is to build upon myself.
To be an observer in life,
Not a participant.
Because one day we’ll look back
And the little things
Will be the big things
That we can’t get back.
All I need,
Is to connect.
This poem is about:
Me
My community
My country
Our world
