   To Touch the Heart of Someone Dear  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. I just thought that I would tell you so. © Mary (Garren) Morand 4-15-1988 Visit her website Email her   More Peaceful Hush Guestbook If you would like to be on my MAILING LIST CLICK HERE  |
