:: Hold my hand ::

A day visiting my Mother.


~ I’m still here ~

Hold my hand, look in my eyes

I'm still here, don't be shy

I might not respond the way I should

But how I wish I could


I'm still here, just tucked away

My life is fading day by day

But I feel your love, yes I do

I wish I could say, "I love you"


Touch my face the way I touched yours

when you were young and I adored

every smile, nothing's changed

My mind has just been rearranged


Talk to me even if it's just chatter

I hear your voice, that's what matters

Maybe something will get through

Talk to me, Like I talked to you


Hug on me, kiss my cheek

Though my mind is growing weak

I feel your love in every squeeze

Your loving touch brings me ease


Though I seem lost, I'm still here

Love me now before I disappear

Be with me in this time and space

You're my moment of amazing grace


One day I'll journey on, I 'll go home

I don't want you to feel alone

We'll always have the love we shared

So hold my hand while I'm still here. -Kala Cota
