What Do We Really Need? Poem by Eric Cockrell

What Do We Really Need?

Rating: 5.0


i saw a small boy...
sitting in the dirt,
underneath an old tree,
playing with sticks.
he was making them
talk to each other,
as if they were human...
perfectly content,
with a lot of imagination,
with very few needs.

and it made me stop and think...
what do we really need?

Really all we need is love, my little daughter likes nothing better than pushing a toy car to me, then I push it back to her, she'll sit for hours doing that. A great poem.
