THE HUMAN HEART HUNGERS

The human heart hungers 

For love and affection...

True concern and caring 

Without any pretension. 

The human heart hungers 

For security and stability..

And tasks they can do 

To their very best ability. 

The human heart hungers 

For recognition and respect -

It's needed by one and all..

More than one would suspect. 

The human heart hungers 

For a permanent place in 

The memories of fellow men..

Beyond one's kith and kin.

The human heart hungers 

For every small and silly thing;

But then it grows world-weary..

And the soul swiftly takes wing.
