Sprite Of Affection Poem by Lynette Dias Gouveia

I don’t ask for pleasures
Or the worldly treasures
I don’t expect the heavens
Or temporal inane leisures
I am a simple person
Easy to understand
Just give me a little love
And I will be your friend

I don’t have costly taste
No frills of the finest lace
I don’t have to dress
Make an effort to impress
I am a natural person
Easy to understand
Just give me a little love
And I will be your friend

I don’t’ ask for gold
Or splendour to behold
I don’t ask for silver
A life with azoic shimmer
I am a peaceful person
Easy to understand
Just give me a little love
And I will be your friend

I don’t have airs to give
A simple life I live
For those who do not feel
I have nothing to reveal
Yet I am somebody
The God up there has sent
Just give me a little love
And I will be your friend
