Today you touched me
Your hand brushed gently across my face
As you looked at me with those troubled eyes
Worry, guilt, sorrow, pity, fear.

Today you asked me if I was cold
You said you could see chill bumps on my skin
As you looked at me with those worried eyes
Sorrow, grief, hurt, despair.

Today you made me feel beautiful
As your hand brushed gently across my face,
When you asked me if I was cold,
The look in your eyes said more than words could ever say.

Today you made me feel loved
As your hand brushed gently across my face,
The love overflowing in your soft, motherly caress
Warmth, tenderness, safety, home.

Today you made me cry
As your hand brushed gently across my face
The beauty in those troubled eyes
And the love that just one glance radiates.
Peace, determination, strength, hope.
