To want is a specific desire,
not to be confused with what we require.
If a cozy sweater is what you need most,
don’t forget those who need the warmth of fire.

If one needs, they will fight to remain alive.
When you want it’s just for a new way to thrive.
To want can seem quite selfish, but half the glass is full--
the need to rise past the mundane helps us strive.

If one desires a hand to hold and love,
is such an act like caging a cooing dove?
Do not let your dove be cooped without a key,
their wants, compared to yours, should be held above.

When you want, keep this simple idea in mind:
What for you’ve pined may agree with the divine,
but hold close the ones you deem ethereal,
for a wish that’s perverted He wont find kind.
