Gentle Caress
written by Johanna Greenlaw

 

Quiet finds me when you do not.

Alone I see that time is laughing.

It thinks it has won, but we will reign

And the haughtiness it possesses

Will never surface again.

 

For I know that there is

A far greater place and home.

You and I, my love will go

Sitting on the bank of a dream

Our lives will eternally flow.

 

You see, you are meant for me.

Our souls complete the other.

What is only mystery to some

Has moved into our lives truly

And shown us what we must become.

 

There is a grace and comfort found

Offered in the form of love and peace.

Jesus had delivered us with care

Into the arms of each other

So in His wisdom, we would find Him there.

 

When I think of you I fill with hope.

You are me- you know me.

Two people we are in flesh,

But our souls meet somewhere unseen

And are forever, in a gentle caress.
