HOW TOUCHING

When sitting there in buses, banks, 

doctor’s offices, church or airports,

spot the human touches - hands,

shoulders, arms, dandruff flicking,

unconscious when an old song plays

on the radio - or when a sermon makes

sense or a slight touch when pouring milk

in another’s coffee cup - giving a hug after 
a kid finishes a game she lost. "I just want to

to reassure you, you’re not alone.  You got me.
You have me. I'm with you through it all …."
