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?
