The hungry child needs food and drink <br />The elderly must have their rest. <br />The dying man needs a caring hand <br />And a baby needs its mother's breast. <br /> <br />The author asks for solitude <br />The sportsman prays for steam and zest, <br />The musician depends on pianos grand <br />The climber aims for a mountain crest. <br /> <br />The orator seeks dramatic words <br />The Judge needs facts put to the test <br />The farmer must have his arable land <br />And ~ The World Needs Love ~ <br />From East to West.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-world-needs-love/
