SKIN

In all life

there is nothing

more comforting and soothing

than the soft skin

of the one you love

and esteem.

 

As a new born babe

rests assured and serene

against the warm breast

of the body that recently

surrounded him,

so the touch and warmth

of smooth fort skin

likewise brings comfort

and ease of tensions

and anxiety.

 

When one is older grown --

in all creation

nothing to the touch

has a feeling so good

as that superb covering

from head to toe;

stretchable, bendable;

full of signals sendable.
