How Much Do I Need You Poem by R. K. Hart

How Much Do I Need You.

How much do I need you?
As much as a sky needs to be blue.
Why would I need you?
Without you, my heart beats untrue.

A valley needs the scent of flower,
Here I lay for many an hour.
Like the body needs air,
I need you with your hair so fair.

As the heart needs the blood of life,
So I must have you as my beloved wife.
The ocean must have a sandy shore,
I must have you to love and adore.

As a warrior greatly needs a fort,
Without you, life would come to naught.
Without you my existence would be nil,
But I will hold you fast, should God will.
