What is it I need
To live each day with real joy?
Security: Yes
To know my life has real worth
And I’ve the power to choose
Let’s not forget the basics
Good food and relationships
Love and care demonstrated
Where laughter abounds
This goal can be reached
It will take your best thinking
A desire to live
When our time begins
We’re born having received love
Nestled in our mother’s womb
Safe, secure and loved
We live needing to be loved
We live needing to give love

I think our friend Blake lived this kind of life.
