You Touch My Heart

Wallace Dean LaBenne

You kiss my lips
You touch my heart
You swing your hips like works of art

You hit my gait
You touch my way
You tempt your fate with feet of clay

You get my drift
You touch my mind
You make your shift like acts of kind

You hug my neck
You touch my soul
You pace your trek with eyes of goal

You nip my hand
You touch my core
You lead your band like sets of lore

You top my gag
You touch my wit
You wave your flag with lots of grit
