You Hold My Hand

In the very darkest lows,
Where no one dares to tread or go,
Immersed in depression and laden with grief,
Through every tear that found no relief-
You hold my hand.

Full of joy and light with glee,
A heart that’s open, a spirit that’s free.
Life lived with a purest smile,
Through the times that make it all worthwhile-
You hold my hand.

Friends that left, family that passed,
Goodbyes said, cars speeding away fast.
In every change that brought remorse
Through life’s sad changing course-
You hold my hand.

Many have faulted, many have let down,
Many have left me dismayed with frowns.
In every rejection and every lie,
Through every hope of love that died-
You hold my hand.

Where may one find acceptance so pure?
Where may one find a shelter so secure?
I search and I ponder,
And through realizing there is a love no fonder-
You hold my hand.

Through time, through all mankind,
The mother’s love never tires or declines.
I know very little but this much is true,
That no matter where I wander or what I do-
You hold my hand.
