I Touched Your Face Today
Author Unknown
Today I touched your face again
And watched you for awhile,
I talked of things deep in my heart
And wished I could make you smile,
I rubbed your head and told you,
I’m proud of you my son,
For all the little things you did
And the way you did each one,
You show such courage daily
And you teach me how to live,
To make each moment count in life
And to give what I can give,
Did I tell you “You’re my hero”
When I saw you yesterday?
Or did it slip my mind
As I put you away?
I know your time on earth was short,
But it’s how you lived each day,
You made the most of what you had
And always found a way,
To touch the hearts around you,
To love while you may,
I wish with all my heart right now,
The face I touch today,
Wasn’t made of paper
Or neatly placed away,
But I will put you on the shelf again
For all the world to see,
I’ll talk to you tomorrow
Just like I do each day,
And I’ll tell you “You’re my hero”
As I gently walk away.
And I really did in a dream. It was wonderful.
