I need to be loved....
A child says to his mother
With a tight hug and endearing caress
A constant longing of an orphan in distress
I need to be loved....
A child says to his friend
Come with me in my great need
Play my simple toys or maybe we read
I need to be loved...
A child says to his little dog
Show me your tail and wiggle it
In a silent place where our happy face meet
I need to be loved...
A child says to a priest
Bless me with your holiness
Cast a prayer upon me in my sadness
I need to be loved....
A child says to a doctor
Heal my ailing heart with affection
I desire for security and health reason
I need to be loved....
A child says to an engineer
Build me a castle with structure of joy
A resting place that no one willl annoy
I need to be loved....
A child says to a salesman
Sell me the meaning of true love
And I'll keep it inside the wings of the dove
Teach me how to be loved and care
So that I'll find no more despair
Oh great and adorned teacher
I need to be loved is what your students utter.
