I want to feel
the stars shine
the warmth of dark night
a rivers’ gentle flow

I want to feel
a loving touch
a kind word
a kiss

I want to feel
the large that does not end
the good not overcome
the hope that is not crushed

I want to feel
all these things I see
And feel not
made small
And worry not
what will go away
what later will bring

I want to feel
and not be afraid
