"All I Need"
Jenna
Our Redeemer Lutheran School
St. Louis County, MO
Why are you so cold?
Like the cold Montana winter breeze
All I need is warm
Like the summer on the California coast.
Why are you so sour?
Like the juice of the lemon
All I need is sweet
Like the first few bites of a ripe watermelon.
Why are you so negative?
Like the scowl on your face
All I need is positive
Like the smile that lights up a room.
I just need love
Like the warm, sweet, positive feelings of love
All I need is love.
