There Is

By M. Jay Mansfield

There is want
And there is need
There is have
And there is greed

Somewhere in the middle
Is all the things you are to me
Somewhere out there
Is all the things that we can be

There is hunger
And those of us that feed
There is fear
And those of us that bleed

Somewhere in the middle
Is where we become complete
Somewhere out there
Is where we come to be

There is love
And a cure that must share
There is us
And all of our cares

Somewhere in the middle
Is where our hearts took a chance
Somewhere out there
Is where we learned to dance.
