Fingers gently tickle the palm... I hear you in the breath of your whisper I see you in the touch of your skin Fingers trembled as silent tears fell... Because of you I have a voice Because of you I can say I love you ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I wrote as a comment to a poem using 3 haiku's with the same title http://allpoetry.com/poem/2380453. My friend encouraged me to post this as a poem in it's own right using the same title. I put the title in quotes as they are my friends Jo's voice. As I responded thought how Helen Keller might speak to Anne Sullivan right before she died. As a young girl I was deeply and profoundly touched by these two woman, reading everything about them that I could get my hands on. The more I read the more I realized it was as much overcoming their handicaps as it was their strength and fortitude as woman that affected me. I do hope that you take the time to read Jo's poem, she has such extrodinary talent, and she's a Jersey girl :). Unfortunately, the image I created I can't use here because even though the photo is from a free site it's not mine. But if ever I put words and pictures together it was this one. If you would like to take a gander please feel free http://allpoetry.com/poem/2422345 Have a wonderful weekend! Michelle
