Touched.

Touched by God, a gifted child,
Uncontrollable, living, wild.
Raised in a world of hate,
What is fate?

Touched by Love, a cradled son,
Confused, uncertain, undone.
Raised in a world of shame,
Who is to blame?

When is the right time to grow up?
Don't get old too fast!!
Can you make it last?
I don't want to grow up!

Touched by Hate, a broken heart,
Hurting, crying, lying.
Raised in a world of fear,
No more tears!

-- No matter how we have been touched in our past we can strive to overcome --
