POETRY: Your Hand in Mine

YOUR HAND IN MINE


It is silent.
And the silence envelops me.
In this stillness I can feel it..
The warmth of your hand.

The music plays in the background.
But all I hear is my heart.
Telling me that all is as it should be.
Because I have you here with me.

In those moments that I was saddest,
it was a warm hand that I needed most.
A reassuring touch that held me,
telling me that it will be okay.

My hand gives my offspring courage.
It also gives them strength and character.
But your hand in mine is everything.
I need no words for its worth.

Walking forward in the darkness,
I know that there is a light in the distance.
And as I walk with your hand in mine,
I know that it will all be fine.
