even though i am older
so many took time to wish me well
yesterday that the warmth glowed
and i felt seen and loved
this morning i am remembering
what a treasure it si to reach out
with a word of friendship
touch
An original poem by MaryJane Nordgren after seeing the photograph ‘Together’ by William F. Wood, Forest Grove, Oregon
haikus
we need to touch, hand
on shoulder, not to possess
but to say i care
to touch is to connect
to feel, to know a presence
beyond my own world
a gentle, resting touch
to share experience
greater than each self
