Analysis of The Power of Touch



The Power of Touch

Have you ever thought about a simple touch,
 How it can say a little or mean so much,
 Reaching, searching, night or day,
 Caring, loving or just to play

Looking for acceptance and a chance to be free
 Will you let me in ?

Will you let me be me ?
 Will you share with me, my joy and pain ?

Together in touch we both will gain
 The energy tingles the senses, then becoming aware

A trusting comfort that you really care
 Feel my spirit touch your inner peace

Together in emotion feeling safe to release
 Spirits touching, sharing and embracing here

Welcome laughing, loving and flowing tears
 Feel the warmth, and set your spirit free

Take your time, find the comfort;
 You have touched me.
