A Touch Eternal

A Touch Eternal From birth, your eyes talked. You held my hand on day one. Death came at nineteen. Softly your last day, you touched my back like velvet, flew into heaven. 8/16/17

Funny how touch remains long after. I still remember touching my Uncle's hand when he was in the coffin. He was only 25. <3
