Touch Me

Sometimes I feel quite frightened
And lost in this world of mine
Like the earth might go on spinning
Leaving me alone behind
Overwhelmed with the notion
Of how lonely that would be
You come through the door
And with your smile, you touch me

You touch me with compassion
You wash away my fear
You touch me with assurance
That you are always near

And sometimes I feel forsaken
By my family and my kin
As if the lives they're living
Are circles I'm not in
I'm troubled and I'm saddened
By the rejection that I see
Then you appear beside me
And with your hands, you touch me

You touch me with tenderness
You touch me with desire
You touch me with passion
Alighting my fire

Yet sometimes I feel a longing
Burning within my heart
A yearning beyond description
That has no end or start
A need so strong it hurts me
A desire to be set free
Then you surround my essence
And with your lips, you touch me

You touch me in the darkness
You touch me with your light
Caressing me with kisses
You make my world feel right

Still sometimes I feel so helpless
To fix what might be wrong
I feel so unimportant
In a world where all are strong
Incapable of perfection
Yet with flawless eyes I see
That in my darkest hour
With your gentle heart, you touch me

You touch me with your kindness
Tender loving sweet care
Your soft touch is ungulfing
Always knowing that you're there

Touch me with love
Touch me with laughter
Touch me with joy
Today and ever after

Just touch me. . .
