Touched Poem by Tim Romines

Touched

Welcome to the new day
I say proudly with happiness in my heart.
When things are positive life is viewed differently
And appear more focused and clear.

Happiness comes in many vessels
And is sometime taken for granted.
But when it comes to you in vibrant ways
Your heart is filled with an uncontrollable joy.

It doesn’t take much effort to touch heart for the first time
Unfortunately this easy act of kindness is often pushed aside.
It is easy to sit and wait to be receive this feeling
But before you can appreciate it you must have touched another.

This is where true love is born or created
In the unselfish act of giving your heart
And not expecting a return but hoping for one.
When it does return your heart is no longer heavy.

The act of giving far outweighs receiving.
All will be returned to you in His time
We just have to learn to not expect or rush things.
When we are ready we will be shown.

No matter how hard you try to deny or fight
If it is meant to be it will be
You can’t will something to happen
Instead pray for the strength of understanding.

When you are touched by this unconditional love
You will be consumed by it
Your heart will feel content and free
Give thanks to Him for He knows what we need.
