I loved this! simply encouraging.  I have a friend that just lost his grandma, and you have given me thoughts as how to approach him.  Thanks, and keep walking with the Lord, no, why am I telling you to walk, when it seems you are running!

I Touched Hearts With You  

There’s a comforting thought at the close of the day,

When I’m weary and lonely and sad,

That sort of grips hold of my crusty old heart

And bids it be merry and glad.

It gets in my soul and it drives out the blues,

And finally thrills through and through.

Et is just a sweet memory that chants the refrain:

“I’m glad I touched hearts with you!”

 

Did you know you were brave, did you know you were strong?

Did you know there was on e leaning hard?

Did you know that I waited and listened and prayed,

And was cheered by your simplest word?

Did you know that I longed for that smile on your face,

For the sound of your voice ringing true?

Did you know I grew stronger and better because

I had merely touched hearts with you?

 

I am glad that I live, that I battle and strive

For the place that I know I must fill;

I am thankful for sorrows; I’ll meet with a grin

What fortune may send, good or ill.

I may not have wealth, I may not be great,

But I know I shall always be true,

For I have in my life that courage you gave

When once I touched hearts with you.

  You hugged me And the world went away for a few moments

While our hearts touched and spoke to one another.

Thank you so much for listening to my heart.

 

A lady who spoke at Unity Church of the Redwoods shared this poem at the close of her talk one Sunday, and it blessed me so. Tho original poem said, "rubbed shoulders with you" or something like that, but to her, that wasn't personal enough, so she changed it to "touched hearts" which is more personal and to the point. Late happy birthday! Love to you-Hummingbird
