Whatever our hands touch,
We leave fingerprints.
On walls, dishes, books;
As we touch, we leave our identity.

Oh, God, wherever I go today
Help me leave heart prints!

Heart prints of compassion,
of understanding,
and love.

Heart prints of kindness
and genuine concern.

May my heart touch
a lonely neighbor,
or a runaway daughter,
or an anxious mother,
or perhaps an aged grandfather.

Lord, send me out today
to leave heart prints.

And if someone should say,
"I felt your touch,"

May that one sense be
YOUR LOVE
touching them, through me.

May my heart touch...
My lonely neighbor, with a smile;
A worried mother, with peace;
A runaway child, with safety;
A homeless person, with warmth;
And, my dear friends, with love.
