HEARTPRINTS

HEARTPRINTS

Whatever our hands touch

we leave fingerprints.

On walls, furniture, doorknobs, dishes, books.

There’s no escape

As we touch we leave our identity.

Oh 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 lovely neighbour ,

or a runaway daughter,

or an anxious mother,

or perhaps even a 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 them through ME!
