I TOUCHED YOUR FACE TODAY~ Today I touched your face again and watched you for awhile, I talked of things deep in my heart and wished I could make you smile, I touched your little nose and told you, I'm proud of you my child, For all the little things you did and the way you did each one, You showed such courage daily, and you taught me how to live, To make each moment count in life and to give what I can give, Did I tell you, "You're my hero" when I saw you yesterday? Or did it slip my mind as I put you away? To touch the hearts around you, to love while you may, I wish with all my heart right now, the face I touched today, Wasn't made of paper or neatly placed away, But I will put you on the shelf again for all the world to see, I'll talk to you tomorrow just like I do each day, And I'll tell you, "You're my hero" as I gently walk away.
