We Live For Others Poem by Nudershada Cabanes

Needing and being needed
Are reasons for us to live
We live to fill the need of others
And others live to fill our needs
It is for that sole purpose that we live
Being needed gives us a sense of purpose
When we find ourselves to be of no use to others
We feel worthless, isolated from the rest
Even trees live to fill our needs
Life moves and flows through a relationship
Of reciprocity and mutuality
We give and we receive
