A LIGHT TOUCH


You come slowly into my heart
Filling me with pleasure
A smile of recognition
In your eyes I see the reflection of me in you

I hold you close at a time when
There is no other
Then I hold you close
When all are around to see

Never trying to own
Just loving you
For you are strength onto you own
To be cherished and understood

Words are spoken and shared
In quiet times of all things
Nothing to be held from one another
Deeper into our souls we walk

Hand in hand
The journey of respect and love
To look in your eyes
Then touch your lips lightly
