Who cares about “wants” anyway?
Fulfill all “needs” to be okay?
Assured to last another day,
colorful “wants” keep all “needs” gray.

Should we be “grateful” and not “wish”?
Anchored in stagnancy if switched?
To be content with being nourished,
without a need to gain or flourish.

Will my thirst be quenched in this cycle?
Erasing “goals” while walking “idle”?
Both “wants” and “need” hold a recital,
secretly fighting for the tittle.

Can we transform “wants” into “needs”?
Will “wishes” sprout like planted seeds?
Success proceeds and takes the lead,
while “gratitude” helps hopes exceed.

Appreciation
Gratitude goes a long way
Focus on the good

Maintain eye contact
Sincerity or deceit
Intentions exposed

Not impossible,
to deceive a deceiver,
but quite difficult.

A clear heart creates.
Impossible dreams come true.
Wishes manifest.

Personalities,
all special in distinct ways.
Uniquely gifted.
