1455

Tenderness exudes from him as he takes the hand

Of the woman, sick and frail; he’s a gifted man.

Uncommonly calm, he utters, “God has a plan.”

Consoling her, he is guided to soothe her soul and

Heal her body, for God’s spirit tells him he can.

I like this :) I do believe touch can heal as well as hurt. Ok, I finally posted " Just A Little Humor", I wasn't sure I liked it. :)

Gee Andrea, this SO fits in with my belief.the brevity of this piece makes it "holy" . This is what sets you apart from many others. This is real art.

Wonderful acrostic, my friend - I'm glad this made the winner's list, (though I would have placed it higher) ... mine did not make the list at all. This is being fav-ed.
