TAKE MY HAND:

“Take my hand,” you said, “I´ll walk you through childhood,”

So I looked into your lovely eyes & then I fully understood,

We walked through the giggles, the laughter & silly games,

And then into adolescence, where nothing stayed the same.

 

“Take my hand,” you said, “then, I shall woo you into love,”

I looked into your lovely eyes & saw the gentleness of doves,

So we wended through wonderland, of lover´s many firsts,

And then into being adults, where teenage bubbles burst.

 

“Take my hand,” you said, “and I shall take you for my wife,”

I looked into your lovely eyes, then, I knew you were my life,

So we ambled through our loving & shared it with our babies,

And into our ageing dotage, to the place of no more maybe´s.

 

“Take my hand,” you said, “and I shall waltz you to the end,”

I looked into your lovely eyes & saw my life´s best friend,

So we danced so very slowly & into God´s sweet breath,

And we had always held hands, from birth until our death.
