His touch remembered

Good morning, blog friends ~

My post today is in response to writer/blogger Sadje's prompt. She invites readers to consider the question, "What do you see?" And she included two images to stir reflection and elicit a story or poem. Here are the prompt images: 

Fascinating, don't you agree? We all see differently, and I became aware of that truth as a child. Friends would talk about the girl in the red dress or maybe someone with a new haircut. But, I'd notice none of that. I'd see a girl who was hurting inside or feeling insecure or longing to be held or... In other words, I'd sense the heart of a person--and still do. It's no wonder I became a counselor. 😊

My response to Sadje's prompt is a simple haiku. I've attempted to capture the unseen and perception in general. I hope you enjoy it.

Have a wonderful rest of the week!
