Everyday I think of what I need <br />Those things I know for sure God will provide <br />Because he said as long as I loved him <br />He’d never see my humble needs denied <br /> <br />All my life he’s kept his promise to me <br />In my distress, his words carried me through <br />So when my heart dwells on the things it needs <br />It knows with certainty that I need you <br /> <br />I need to hear your footsteps at my door <br />I need your time, which makes our time worth while <br />I need to hear the patience in your voice <br />I need to see your lips, which form your smile <br /> <br />I need the safety of your warm embrace <br />I need the kindness you have always shown <br />I need the joy I feel when you come by <br />I need the love you bring into my home <br /> <br />I need your faith in God to light my path <br />to live a life that’s chosen by so few <br />And hopefully, one day you will decide <br />That you’ll need me as much as I need You<br /><br />Hiram Sims<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/charissian-necessity-proposal-poem/
