I’ve Been Touched ©
By: J. Michael Stone

Looking back over the years, I realize how many times
I have been touched. I have been touched by a loving
mother, and siblings that truly
care; by extended family, friends and foes.

I have been touched by a puppy’s eyes, a kittens meow,
a falling star, and the coo of an infant; by the
songs of birds, the wailing of tears and pain, by
laughter and joy and the fragrance of a sweet
flower as I have passed it by.

I have been touched by a newborn life and by bearing
witness to death, by being loved and by having love
lost; by music in many forms and by the
enchanting sounds of a vocal choir singing it’s praise.

I have been touched by a soft wisp of air; the kind only
an angel’s wings can make, by the warmth and
sweetness of a gentle, loving kiss, the brush of a
kind hand, the tickle of a playful fingertip.

I have been touched by countless sights, sounds, tastes,
feelings, and experiences, by victories and
defeats. I have been touched by so many things; I am
profoundly reminded that I am alive! I am alive
BECAUSE,I have been touched.
