If I am
your child,
Please
touch me.
Persist,
find ways to meet my needs.
Your
goodnight hug helps sweeten my dreams. Your daytime touching tells me how
you really feel.
If I
am your teenager,
Please
touch me.
Don't
think because I'm almost grown, I don't need to know that you still care.
I need your loving arms,
I need a tender
voice.
If I
am your friend,
Please
touch me.
Nothing
lets me know you care
like a warm
embrace.
A healing
touch when I'm
depressed
assures me I am loved,
And
reassures me that I'm not alone. Yours may be the only comforting touch
I get.
If I
am your life's partner,
Please
touch me.
You
may think that your passion is enough, But only your arms hold back my
fears. I need your tender reassuring touch, To remind me I am loved just
because I am me.
If I am your
grown-up child,
Please
touch me.
Though
I may have a family
of my own
to hold, I still need Mommy's and Daddy's arms when I hurt. As a parent
the view is different, I appreciate you more.
If I
am your aging parent,
Please
touch me.
The
way I was touched when
I was very
young. Hold my hand, sit close to me, give me strength,
And
warm my tired body with your nearness. Although my skin is worn and wrinkled,
it loves to be stroked.
Don't
be afraid,
Just
touch me.

You Lately That I Love You"
