"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 some-thing 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.
