Here is my hand, and here is my heart,

I reach through the distance that keeps us apart,

Here are my arms, and here is my trust,

I give them to you as I hold you in love.

Here are my eyes, that open to see,

Your hands and your arms, reaching toward me.

Here are my fingers now touching your own,

Hands, arms, and fingers, no longer alone.

(This can also be done as a movement-dance with gestures)
