Touch Me

Touch me

Hold me

Pull me close

For since you left

I have missed your embrace

And the memory of your arms around me

Is fading fast

Touch me

Hold me

Kiss me goodbye

I miss visiting you
I miss hearing your voice
Our last goodbye wasn't fair

You left me
On that Tuesday night

After a fleeting visit
There was no goodbye

When I saw you next

I touched you
I stroked your hair
As you lay there
Cold but at peace

Next time we meet

It will be in heaven
Then I will

Touch you
Pull you close
Hold you in my arms

Kiss you

and

whisper
"Hello Dad".
