The poem tells the story of a woman who, after 12 years of suffering from a debilitating illness, seeks healing from Jesus. Despite societal rejection, she reaches out and touches the hem of His garment, believing in his power to heal. In a profound moment, her faith is rewarded, and she is cured. This act of faith sets her free from shame and garners praise for her Lord. Unlike others who merely touched Jesus, she was touched by His power. Her unwavering faith, though small, did not escape His notice.
