Poems from the Heart

a touch can be for comfort

a touch can be for love

a touch can be a message

from the heavens up above

a gift sent downfrom God

to let you know that youre alive

and a touch can give you feelings

to let you know love has arrived

a touch can be in anger

a touch can make you ache

and the very worst touch of all

is the one that makes your heart break

everyone needs touches

to remind them they still feel

and nothing else on earth

has quite the same appeal

as a hand upon your shoulder

or a kiss upon your head

or the hug that keeps you warm

as you lay down in your bed

touch is life

My eyes have seen the ocean

and the setting of the sun

my eyes have seen the births

of my daughter and my son

my eyes have read a thousand books

and cherished every page

and seen the joy of living

through every single age

my eyes have wandered aimlessly

while my thoughts are lost in dreams

and my eyes have seen my cup of love

fairly bursting at the seams

my eyes have witnessed sadness

and terrors in the dark

but the things my eyes remember

are the wonders of the heart

my eyes have traveled miles and miles

and always returned home

but my eyes will always remember

what a joy it is to roam

my eyes have loved so many

and lost more than you know

and my eyes will still love others

and it wont be just for show

held close in comforting arms

held tight in a warm embrace

held safe in a lovers charms

held while tears stream down my face

held in my mind , locked in place

cant understand my fall from grace

why did my mother have to die

and leave my soul in this empty place

held in the night

locked in my mind

i have this strong feeling

im running out of time

held behind

running in place

i dont comprehend

my inner face

home is where the heart is

so everybody says

but i have different views

on how home inside us stays

my children are my home

and my friends just the same

and if you ask me i will tell you

that home is not a name

home is wherever you are

when you have that special time

home is what you feel

when your children tell a rhyme

home is comfort and caring

and complete love guaranteed

and home is hugs and kisses

and its where you want to be

home is angels singing

and watching over you

and its the place inside

where you never do feel blue
