A poem about want.

I debated whether to repeat "I want" on each phrase or not... in print it seems unneeded, but when spoken, it seems to lend a certain cohesiveness to it. What do you think?

Lyrics
i want 



food
a warm bed
to be loved
a safe place
assurance
a soft pillow
everything

a future
summer vacation
to hit a home run
trust
to be liked
freedom
to be with my friends
the truth
to be tall
an easy path from here to the bar
      & back home
physical love


to finish school
liberty
to be a rock star
world peace
to be a poet
a quiet day with a clear blue sky
to live out my life with you
happiness
technology
a music box that plays in-a-gadda-da-vida


your attention
      if just for a few moments


the occasional soft day
a comfortable shoe
to be competent
a good night's sleep
to live out my life with you
a crackling fire in the fireplace
to know my children
      will live good lives
my doubts to be eased
emotional love


snow on firs
to be on the team
a job well done
to be left alone
a cat in my lap
crickets singing at night
a fire truck
      going somewhere else


more time
a light breeze rustling the trees
three day weekends
to be free of wants


simplicity
towering cumulus clouds
no aches & pains
thunder, in the distance
to be a poet
freedom
to know my grandchildren
      will live good lives
peace of mind
to be remembered


a small bowl of vanilla ice cream
insurance
a past
to retire
my fears to vanish
summer vacation
to live out my life
      with you


one of those big burgers they used to sell
      with onions


that's all


i want

Me too man! Well...except for those big burgers. Ha ha ... Nice poem friend ... Very much enjoyed the piano meanderings. Laughed at the In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida line... Clever that.

That kept me captivated and excited all the way through. What powerful words. Nicely supported by the piano. Well done. Big art.
