Beauty to Touch

10 March 2006


The beauty of her grin
the soul of her heart
Was this Bethlehem
or a song to sing

Her kindness in spirit
length and breadth
Tasting of her touch
a fairness to desire

To ponder reality
knowing truth was within
So much to ask
as if given in prayer

Why a letter to question
needing to hear her words
Would tomorrow take brightness
this shine of her face to soul


“For she said within herself, If I may
but touch his garment, I shall be whole.”
Matthew 9: 21 KJV
