 Touching Shoulders
Dedicated to all the sweet and kind people I've met here on Thoughts!

TOUCHING SHOULDERS

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 this crusty old heart
And bids it be merry and glad.

It gets in my soul, and drive out the blues
And finally thrills through and through.
It is just a sweet memory that chants the refrain
I'm glad I touched shoulders with you.

 You know you were brave, did you know you were strong?
Did you know that I had to be heard?
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 that sound of your voice ringing true?
Did you know I grew stronger, and better because,
I had merely rubbed shoulders with you?

Thanks for posting this poem, Keepdreaming.
This site and all the kind people here
have been a Godsend to me.
Your thoughts and kind words, to me,
have encouraged, lifted my spirits and
blessed my heart countless times.
Thanks for taking the time to love me.
Thanks for being you.
Peace.

You are the sweetest of all ladies!!! I feel very blessed to have "touched shoulders" with you. I have tons of poetry books. This poem comes out of a book called "Lines to live by"... one of my favorite books. I read through it often. You are one of the people I thought of specifically when I read this. So I must say in return... Thank you for being YOU!! God Bless you ALWAYS!!!
