To Love or To be Loved?

i don't know which is better
to love so
meone or to be loved?
i missed both these feelings
and wound up being forlorn
as if i'm really alone
i am grateful for the love
and support of my doting mother
who never tires of caring for me--
as well as my seven siblings
who were responsible for
the person I am now--
their encouragement
made me believe i can achieve
things i dare not imagine
but then, at night i struggle
to keep off thoughts of growing gray
alone with only a pillow to hug
and take refuge for warmth...
i think of that someone
who MIGHT be out there, waiting,
YES, i want both: to love and
to be loved back...
there's no better music than
to hear the words, I love you
from the one that holds your heart!
