The Way You Touched Me

A heartfelt token of gratitude

The way you touched me,
I knew it was you Ma and Pa.
You thought I would come into this world
with a clean slate
But I can guarantee, I learned
a lot through the amniotic sack.

The way you touched me,
made me feel wanted Ma and Pa.
Ensuring, that I could and would
see the light of the day.
That I would pass through the birth canal
and rest on my mother’s breast.

The way you touched me,
I knew I was the blessed one Ma and Pa.
The way you painted my room
to suit all my needs.
I just knew I am the blessed one
to have a Ma and Pa such as yourself.
