HEARTPRINTS

Whatever our hands touch - we leave fingerprints!

On walls, on furniture, on doorknobs, dishes, books,

As we touch we leave our identity.

Oh please where ever 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 neighbour

Or a runaway daughter, or an anxious mother,

Or, perhaps, a dear friend!

I shall go out today to leave heartprints,

And if someone should say “I felt your touch,”

May that one sense be YOUR LOVE touching through ME.
