I shall not want

I have

a root cellar full of summer
firewood
pens and paper
a fresh laptop battery
stories to write
books to read
women I can call at three in the morning
a good man to sleep next to through the night
a niece on the way 
children to cherish
the use of all my senses
a sense of direction
strong legs
hopes
hope
laughter in me yet
freedom and rights
responsibilities

and for these I am grateful.
