Mother's hand

MOTHER'S HAND

As a little girl I held your hand tightly
for the world was a scary place.
...

Whatever I have faced in my life
I've known your hand is always there
for me to hold, if I need.
The warmth of your love
and the guidance of your hand
has steered me through the crowd of life
to bring me through.

Now as the years pass
I hold my hand out to you
for I will always be there -
if you ever need me.
Take my hand and together
we can walk the rest of the path.
