Give me your hand <br />for it is my life extended; <br /> <br />Give me your mouth <br />for its warmth keeps me alive <br /> <br />Give me your eyes for they see <br />for me <br />beyond my self. <br /> <br />Give me your <br />heat <br />in between <br />for without it's prospect <br />I wither. <br /> <br />Give me kind words; <br />they comfort me <br />and help me carry on. <br /> <br />Place beside me <br />your Understanding <br />for without it I die. <br /> <br />Sit quietly with me <br />because that reassures me <br />I exist. <br /> <br />For all this <br />I open my blouse <br />and show you my Soul <br />and you touch it with <br />your finger-tips.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/souling/
