asking for little

you don't ask
for much
from anyone.
being left alone
from time to time
is high on
the list.
love and affection.
a few laughs
every now
and then.
but no grief.
no trouble.
pack lightly.
leave your worries
at home
when you visit.
relax, take your
shoes off.
let your hair
down.
it's not the end
of the world,
it's not the end
of anything,
it's just a place
to be quiet
and still.
