What I need
I don’t need a fancy house
A little shack will do
I don’t need front row seats
As long as I have a view
I don’t need designer shirts
Nor do I need an Armani tie
An old shirt and worn out jeans
Are enough to get me by
I don’t need a Rolex watch
Or a huge collection of gold
I’m sure that if I had them
They would tarnish and grow old
I don’t need a giant yacht
A small row boat will do
Hell… I don’t need anything at all
As long as I have you

Excellent
Aha! A gem of a poem. The title throws us off balance, expecting thoughts on money, riches etc. No. You addressed the real need of love. Well done.

This is the Perfect little poem... It couldn't have been better... *sigh*. I'm not one for warm and fuzzy poems, but this one would make any girl swoon!

Thanks Ray
Sometimes you just have to paint on a smile and go on with life.. know what I mean? Actually, I took that pic of myself while trying to kill time on a ferry. Amazing what one will do when bored and stuck in a car.
Who is on a roll now???
WOW Ray, it's you, again! Man oh man! Keep them coming...don't stop now...
It's inspiration time!!!
YOWZA!!!

"Softgolf")
Leeenda... I wish I could... I have a lot of ideas that I make little notes about to remind me but I am too busy trying to stay alive to write that much... I am getting ready to make a golf course with a good friend (the game that I told you about a long time ago... with the big foam balls and clubs... "Softgolf") We are hoping to close on a twenty acre mol in a few weeks... I am already busy makking the balls and more clubs... I'm afraid my days are numbered... Once we get the property I will be working 16 hours a day 7 days a week for the next yeare or so... I will try to pop in here and there!
Thanks for the love,
XO

The simplest things often mean the most
I like your verses and easy rhyme in this. It is worded wonderfully, it's the simplest things that often mean the most. I was not expecting the last 2 lines and they are my favorite!
Very sweet!

It's easy as ABC...
It's easy as ABC... It's as simple as 123... That's how simple love can be!
