Strings (a poem) written in 1977

Can I touch in you the strings
that will make you beautiful?
Will the song that I sing
harmonize with the music in your soul?
Or will my human hands,
with their careful clumsiness,
only cause discord--
because of the imperfection
in their interpretation
of your needs. . .

By Sherri Scovill
