I Need You

by Shira aged 12

What if we didn’t have ground to walk on?
We take it for granted,
But without it we would just fall, fall, fall
That’s what you are for me.

What if we didn’t have air to breathe?
We take it for granted,
But without it we would just choke, choke, choke
That’s what you are for me.

What if we didn’t have the sun’s light?
We take it for granted,
But without it we would just be blind, blind, blind
That’s what you are for me.

What if we didn’t have words to speak?
We take it for granted,
But without it we would be silent, silent, silent
That’s what you are for me

I always seem to take you for granted,
Like a habit I can’t break
But from now on, I promise,
I’ll try my best to be different.
