TOUCH ME
<p>
If I am your child . . . <br>
Please touch me. <br>
Persist; <br>
Find ways to meet my needs. <br>
Your goodnight hug helps sweeten my dreams. <br>
Your daytime touching tells me how you really feel. <br><br>
If I am your teenager . . . <br>
Please touch me. <br>
Don't think because I'm almost grown, <br>
I don't need to know that you still care. <br>
I need your loving arms; <br>
I need a tender voice. <br><br>
If I am your friend . . . <br>
Please touch me. <br>
Nothing lets me know you care like a warm embrace. <br>
A healing touch when I'm depressed assures me I am loved, <br>
And reassures me that I'm not alone. <br>
Yours may be the only comforting touch I get. <br><br>
If I am your life's partner . . . <br>
Please touch me. <br>
You may think that your passion is enough, <br>
But only your arms hold back my fears. <br>
I need your tender reassuring touch, <br>
To remind me I am loved just because I am me. <br><br>
If I am your grown-up child . . . <br>
Please touch me. <br>
Though I may have a family of my own to hold, <br>
I still need Mommy's and Daddy's arms when I hurt. <br>
As a parent, the view is different; <br>
I appreciate you more. <br><br>
If I am your aging parent . . . <br>
Please touch me. <br>
Hold my hand, <br>
Sit close to me, give me strength; <br>
And warm my tired body with your nearness. <br>
Although my skin is worn and wrinkled, <br>
It loves to be stroked; <br>
Don't be afraid. <br><br>
