did you know
that your hands
touch my beating heart
that my eyes
blur with tears
as i see
that my soul
is alive and well
still
i melt at your words
with sweet relief
and self fed grace
as pain falls aside
and my own hope
emerges surprising
again strong
still
that your care
and tender truth
about my goodness
expose my worth
and pure desire
to touch
the beating heart
of another
did you know
