Bare Necessities

The basic necessities of life, I am told
Are things you can touch, feel , see, taste and hold.
But I'm a believer in richness of soul
That comes from the senses, and things you can't see.

Laughter from hearts filled with joy and with love,
The ground 'neath your feet, a blue sky above...
A peace deep inside is for me quite enough
To satisfy all the requirements of need.

The rest is all gravy.
