Made to Be Loved

like cracked lips in need of Vaseline
like bellies in need of food
like lungs in need of fresh air
like ash in need of lotion
like skin in need of sunbeams
like eyes in need of beauty
like winter in need of heating
and summer in need of cool air
like plants in need of watering
like ears in need of both silence and melodies
like morning breath in need of Crest
like my back in need of massaging
like windshields in need of wipers
like beds in need of blankets
like tubs in need of running water
like gas in need of release
like toenails in need of clipping
like books in need of reading
like songs in need of listening
like legs in need of dancing
is my heart in need of caring
my voice in need of hearing
my ears in need of speaking
my shoulder in need of rubbing
my hands in need of holding
my body in need of cuddling
my lips in need of kissing
my arms in need of caressing
my dreams in need of believing
my value, strength, beauty in need of seeing
I was made to be loved
