"for she said to herself, 'If I only touch his cloak, I will be made well.'" Matthew 9:21

if we only touch
your heart, we might

become more loving.

if we only touch

your spirit, we might

become more inclusive.

if we only touch

your grace, we might

become more forgiving.

if we only touch 

your justice, we might

be more passionate for

all the forgotten.

if we only touch

your hope, we might

heal the brokenness

consuming our world.

if we only touch

your life, ours might be different.

if only . . .
