I looked to others
I looked for love
I looked to fill
My thirsty soul
All others failed
They loved elsewhere
I was stranded
Without air
I stopped awhile
I saw the world
Flowers and blossoms
And did all I could
To cherish life
To be aware
Of moments passing –
Windswept hair
Here today
Gone tomorrow
The cycles continue
Joy and sorrow
Spring and then fall
Night and day
Live every moment
Feel the sun’s rays!
Poems and Petals 
wonder and inspiring…

I am so sorry; as a writer, you would think I could spell correctly? That should have been, “needed.”
My apologies…
