  If I am your child...Please touch me. Persist; find ways to meet my needs. Your goodnight hug helps sweeten my dreams. Your daytime touching tells me how you really feel. If I am your teenager...Please touch me. Don't think because I am almost grown, I don't need to know that you still care. I need your loving arms; I need a tender voice. If I am your friend...Please touch me. Nothing lets me know you care like a warm embrace. A healing touch when I'm depressed assures me I am loved, And reassures me that I'm not alone. Yours may be the only comforting touch I get. If I am your partner...Please touch me. You may think that your passion is enough, But only your arms hold back my fears. I need your tender reassuring touch, To remind me I am loved just because I am me. If I am your grown-up child...Please touch me. Though I may have a family of my own to hold, I still need Mommy's and Daddy's arms when I hurt. As a parent the view is different; I appreciate you more. If I am your aging parent...Please touch me. Hold my hand, sit close to me, give me strength; And warm my tired body with your nearness. Although my skin is worn and wrinkled, It loves to be stroked ...Don't be afraid.  Author: Unknown
