TO TOUGH THE HEART

[Guest guest]

**************************************************************

TO TOUCH THE HEART

To touch the heart of someone dear,

Though it might sometimes cause a tear

Or two to fall 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.

And though we're often miles 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.

Thank You For Touching My Heart!
