A Romantic Poem

There was a touch, I knew as an 
infant when my mother lifted me 
up and held me close to her bosom.  
I knew this was Love and that she 
loved me.
There was a touch, I knew as a 
child when, I would hold the hand 
of my father, and we would walk 
and talk.  He would lift me high in 
the air and laugh spinning me 
around.  I knew this was Love and 
that he loved me. 
There was a touch I looked forward 
to when I was early in my teens, 
when I could rest my head on my 
grandmother’s shoulder.  She would 
lift my spirits by saying “Things 
going to be OK let Granny take care
of you now.”  I knew this was Love 
and I knew she loved me.
There was a touch I looked for when 
I became a man, a Mother’ caress, a 
Father’s strength and a Grandmother’s 
smile.  All of this was lost to me, and 
I wondered through life searching for 
this touch in all that crossed my path. 
It was not until I met you that I 
realized that the touch I was looking 
for was the one upon my heart.  That 
is when I knew this was Love and you 
loved me.
