By Ruth Harms Calkin
Whatever our hands touch-
We leave fingerprints!
On walls, on furniture
On doorknobs, dishes, books.
As we touch we leave our identity.
O God, wherever I go today
Help me leave heartprints!
Heartprints of compassion
Of understanding and love.
Heartprints of kindness
And genuine concern.
May my heart touch a lonely neighbor
Or a runaway daughter
Or an anxious mother
Or perhaps a dear friend!
Lord, send me out today
To leave heartprints
And if someone should say
"I felt your touch,"
May that one sense your love
touching through ME.
