To Touch The Heart
To touch the heart of someone dear -
though it might sometimes cause a tear to fall or rest upon the cheek - Should be something all should seek.
For often hearts - not touched at all -
start hardening and shrinking small. And then the time - it takes to grow A loving heart - is very slow.
For hearts expand as those who care -
extend their love and - let us share a Moment, space or special phrase that eases pain on dreary days. Or simply starts our lips to smile and brightens time for just a while.
The ways and kinds and means of sharing -
it seems to me - Are based on caring.
And though we're often worlds apart.
You still can touch my very heart. You make me smile or shed a tear. And I'll remember year to year Just how your 'touching' helped me grow. And I just thought I'd tell you so. © m.garren 4-15-1988 |
