The feel of a lovers fingertip touches,
when gently traced upon ones skin,
can only mean so much
when love is felt deep within.

The feel of fingertip touches
holding a child so near,
makes one come to realize
how our children are so dear.

The feel of fingertip touches
brushing the hair for one so old,
warms a heart so much
and takes away the cold.

The feel of fingertip touches
just so simple as can be,
can give so much gladness
for all the world to see.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

Ahhhh, sigh, lovely. Met with my expectations of how most would treat the lovely phrase. That's why I chose not to read any attempts before I wrote ming so I would not be influenced. This is so gentle and sweet, if I'd read it prior to the treatment I gave the challenge, I could have only written to the lovely side of fingertip touches. I wanted to provide a contrast to what others did.

Now, I want to write another to dwell in the beauty of the gentle spirit evoked here.

Well done! Ah ha, your name, heh-heh-heh, just put it together, tee-hee.

Lovely, lovely treatment of the challenge, my friend.
