When there are no words to be spoken
A touch can make a difference
In the silence of unspoken words
The awareness of your presence
A touch upon the shoulder
The holding of someone's hand
Brings instant comfort, reassurance
That you truly understand
Actions spoken so eloquently
With responsiveness and care
You`ve broken down the silence
Just by your being there
Those brief moments of encounter
Holding someone near
Gives strength and renewed courage
To overcome their fear
Actions spoken loudly
A healing message to the soul
When a touch was what was needed
To feel loved and to be whole
A touch
