Someone Has Touched Me

Someone has touched me
in those hard to reach places
those real dark places
that somehow sheds light
on your future.
Someone has touched me
with such powerful strength
that has emboldened me
to reach out
and grab fear by the hand
and lead it to peace
..to such and overwhelming peace.
Someone has touched me
taught me
not to be afraid
to make mistakes
not to be afraid
to make memories
not to be afraid
to make love
in more ways than one
Someone has touched me
in more ways than one
so that I've become suffused
with a blanket of trust
suffused with a shower
sprinkling tranquility and hope
Someone has touched me
reminding me
that there is such a thing
as achieving excellence
in all aspects
Someone has touched me
you know who you are
you told me that
a beautiful heart
is better than
a beautiful face
you told me that
true love excels
far beyond physical attraction
you told me that
sometimes in life
the one thing
you want the most
is the exact thing
you deprive yourself of.
You have touched me
you've reached in
and caressed my heart
which now rests
in your hands
because now i understand.
