I believe the power of touch
Comes not just from a gentle caress
Or shielding and protective hug.
But from the gentle word spoken for a hurting heart,
A kind smile shared tenderly with a troubled soul,
A soft and deep sigh of contentment shared with love,
A pause in life to listen to another’s troubles or pains,
A quiet commitment of action to someone’s need,
A direct look into another’s eye with a nod,
A whispered breath exhaling the power of an emotion just shared.
I believe in these powers.

Just the words I needed to read today Colleen. I had a fun day, but it is still one week since my hubs death, and even having fun couldn’t erase the memory. Thank you.
I’m sorry for all you’re going through Angie. I hope that the memories can be of help.
Thanks Colleen. Most of them help, some of them hurt. My friends are helping me a lot, and the pros have started coming in to visit. Could be good, could be bad, but I’ll try it for a bit and find out.
Thank goodness for the friends. And the pros.
Beautiful poem and so very true.
Thank you so much Priceless.
You’re welcome and it is my pleasure.

It is possible that a gesture like that can touch you deeply.
I’ve received them. They’re good stuff. š
So beautiful, and I wholly agree. Makes me want to believe as well…I am coming out of having been a bit, well hurt. Love this post and perfectly timed. š
I’m glad it means something to you Niaaeryn. I hope you do believe. And I hope you feel those touches.
Thank you š
yes, there are many ways to touch someone –
It happens here on WP without even meeting folks. š
Beautiful Colleen.
Thank you Paul. š
I can easily see that you must have such a gentle hand that comforts others with your words and your actions. What a value you bring to those you love in your home and family, but also in the workplace. This is lovely, Colleen.
Thank you Debra. Sometimes I question my responses. But it keeps me aware too.
These words, these emotions are truly beautiful Colleen. ā¤ļøš
Thank you Jen! ā¤
I believe too.
I am already convinced of this. š
There is power in different ways we impact others. This is really touching in how beautifully your words flow, Colleen. This one really is special!
Thank you Robin. It is pretty close to my heart. I have such moments of appreciation for others and how they touch my life.
