| Touching the heart of someone dear though it might sometimes cause a tear
 to fall or rest upon a cheek
 should be something all should seek
 
 often hearts, not touch at all
 start hardening and shrinking small
 then the time it takes to grow
 a dying heart is very slow
 
 hearts expand with those who care
 extend their love and let us share
 a moment, space or special phrase
 ceases pain and grey despair
 
 so simply form our lips to smile
 to brighten days for just awhile
 the ways, the kinds, the means of sharing
 seems to me are all based on caring
 
 though we're often worlds apart
 you can still touch my very heart
 making me smile or shedding a tear
 I'll remember you year to year
 
 just how much you touch me so
 i just thought I'll let you know...
