What I wanted

What I wanted

I’ve realized I can’t always have

What I wanted,

But always had what I needed.

I always wanted friends

But I always had the friends

I needed.

They’re always there to comfort me,

They get to study and know me

As they have to.

They understand my actions

And correct me when I’m wrong.

There are times where;

There’s shedding of tears,

There’s holding of hands

Assuring ourselves we’re always

There for each other;

There’s great laughter and joy.

They know we’re are not perfect

But have the ability

Of becoming so.

We understand each other

Whether in pain or sadness

And joy or happiness.

We’ve always got each other’s

Back covered.

We stand in the gap for each other

And remember to always

Say a word of prayer.

I’m happy to always have

What I needed.

Even though I never get what I wanted.
