All You'll Ever Need Poem by Ray Hansell

The summer evening walks
That we'd always take
The times we made love
With the window open
As the rain fell
The walks beneath a full moon
Or the nights
When a billion stars would light the night
The walks in fall with the leaves all around
How they would crackle under our feet
The walks along the beach in summer
How the waves would rush to shore
And wash the sand from our feet
We'd marvel at the way
The ocean and the sky seemed to meet
The times we sat and held hands for hours
No words could have told us
What the silence was saying loud and clear
That when you love someone
As deeply as we love each other
Just being with that person
Is all you'll ever need and want
