I Needed Your Touch Today by Terrie*

today
I needed that special loving touch
I felt so helpless at work today
yet
I go thru this quite a bit
I needed to feel the embrace of my true love so bad
today
what a stranger said touched my heart so deep
before the start of my shift
a gentleman whom I 've never seen
or meet was being coded..
with my keys, purse and name badge still in hand
his mom with
tears flowing down her cheeks
came straight my way

she said ,please stay with me do not go away
I can tell
you too have had a loss long long ago
but yet God helped you carry on
I can tell you too are a believer ?

I told her God is my light

she continues
for some reason I'm pulled to you
I need your voice to be heard
please pray for me
this is my child one of three
that lies there lifeless
with out a heartbeat or a pulse
I need someone special
to help me let go
I knew this day was coming
I just don't want it to be today

today I was so helpless
I needed the touch of a familiar hand
the Lord lead me to be strong
as I knelt and prayed
with a woman unkown ,yet she knelt next to me
she laid her head on my chest
and cried the whole time
she apologized for falling apart
she thanked me for being there where I am
I told her God puts us where we need to be
and this is where he has sent me

her brother arrived to offer support
I made myself scarce and went to clock in for my shift
it didn't matter that I clocked in 45 minutes late
because this was of a human life and couldn't wait
I gave them their private moment
it was a matter of time
to hear what the doctor had to say
they did all they could
but God called his servant home
our eyes meet
our arms locked
as our tears rolled off
we both tried to catch our breath
yes it was different today..
I felt the presence of my love
so true helping me get through

This angel asked me to serve at her side
while God prepared a setting above
for her son
today I was deeply touched
by a woman whom didn't want to..
but..
learned to let go
by the comfort of love
God released from my heart
and the touch of my true love that I felt from afar..
that touch really helped
me get through it all
at the same time the womans spirit and mine
that were once once shattered were completely restored
When she learned
to let go and understand why.
God is in control

death is routinely in my job..today a stranger touched my soul .. from a distance i could feel the touch of the man that i love.. thats what helped me be strong to share the love of another mom. By the grace of God, love is Blessed and becomes strong when love is shared and given honestly

Where does Love & Strenght, Come From?
Terrie, There are times at night, or anytime, when we feel so alone, where will, our strength come from? As you lay alone tonight, can't you feel, the love, he has sent to you, and he wants you, to feel his, while you are alone, thinking, of this woman's son. Where does, your stength come from, where dose the sunrise from, where does the rain fall from? All, comes from his Grace. The same is true, when you feel weak, and just know, you are alone, you can feel my heart, loving you and you don't ask, where does my love come from, the same place as your compassion for this lady, who knows, she has lost her son. There is no question, where love and strength, comes from. My regards to your heart, Lady Terrie, sleep well tonight, God's grace, may call on you again, tomorrow, into another life, as your heart, has come into mine. Poets, love each other, don't you think, that is the way it should be? Where does our love and strength come from? God by his grace and the love he gave to us, for each other. Where does strength come from? From his grace, never let a tear fall down your face, that doesn't feel his love and grace, otherwise, its just a waste caused, by empty, desparation. Love the poem -Martin V
