"To Touch the Heart"
To touch the Heart of
Someone Dear,
Though it might sometimes
cause a Tear
To fall upon the cheek,
It should be something to Seek
For often Hearts
Not touched at all
Start hardening
And shrinking too small.
And then the time it
takes to Grow
A loving Heart is very Slow
For Heart expands as
those who Care
Extend their Love and
let us Share.
A moment that eases Pain
On dreary days
Or simply start our lips
to a smile and brightens time
for just a while
For the means of Sharing
It seems to me
Are based on Caring.
And though we are often
worlds apart
You can touch my very Heart.
You make me Smile
And shed a Tear
But, I will remember
Year after Year
Just how your Touch
Helped me Grow
So I thought
I would tell you so...
