as the morning light filters in
i open my eyes to the world
thanking god for another day

Desire to be loved
Desire to love someone
Desire to be happy
Desire to have fun.
Desire for passion
Desire for lust
Desire to own
Own a partner is a must.
And then the desire for a family
Desire for a child
Desire for money
Desires of many a kind.
Desire for a home
Desire to be together
Desire to live with your children
Desire to be better.
And when the twilight years set in
A new desire arises
To be near God
To be near someone who hears your cries.
We run after these desires
To fulfil them is our aim
But in that race against time
Our quality of life is put to shame.
