"Who touched you?"
I ask you instead "Whom did you touch?"

Whatever our hands touch - We leave fingerprints!!
On walls, on furniture
On doorknobs, dishes, books.
There's no escape.
As we touch we leave our IDENTITY.

Oh, God, wherever i go today
Help me leave heartprints!
Heartprints of compassion
Of understanding and love.

Heartprints of kindness
And genuine concern
May my heart touch a lonely neighbour
Or a runaway daughter Or an anxious mother
Or perhaps an aged grandfather.

Lord, send me out today
To leave heartprints.
And if someone should say,
"I felt your touch,"
May thatone sense YOUR LOVE
Touching through ME.
