Please Touch Me

I am your baby,
Please touch me!
Not just when you feed me and diaper me,
But stroke my legs, my arms, my back, my head.
Hold me close in tenderness
That says--"I love you."

I am your teenager,
Please touch me!
I need to feel a fond love
Coming through your hands, your arms;
I need to see it in your eyes
Hear it in your voice,
Even when we disagree.
Some of me is still a child-
Please touch me!

I am a child with a family of my own,
Please put your arms around me
Mother, Father, when my heart aches
With heartaches you have known.
Now that I am a parent,
I see you differently and love you more.
When you embrace your grandchildren-
Don't forget me!

I am your aging parent,
Please touch me
The way my mother did
When I was young.
My hair is coarse and gray
But please stroke it.
My hand is withered but hold it,
Embrace my tiring body.
I need your strength-
Please touch me
