Hold my hand ...

Hold my hand, oh little one
Hold it nice and tight,
Hold my hand, oh little one
Hold it with all your might.

Today you've entered the big, wide world
And they've given me the chance to tend you're every need,
Tomorrow we're going on this journey together
Both of us unsure of what lies ahead, indeed.

Hold my hand, oh little one
Hold it nice and tight,
Hold my hand, oh little one
Hold it with all your might.

You may be small and the youngest of us by far
But your instinct about what you want is overwhelmingly strong,
I need to keep calm and listen to all your cries
As to underestimate your sense of self would be quite wrong.

Hold my hand, oh little one
Hold it nice and tight,
Hold my hand, oh little one
Hold it with all your might.

There is so much to learn from one another
To think of all our future challenges brings up a sense of fear,
However, you know and feed off all my emotions
So I am keeping myself strong and positive, my dear.

Hold my hand, oh little one
Hold it nice and tight,
Hold my hand, oh little one
Hold it with all your might.

Well, my child, the years are simply slipping by
You've reached an age now where I'm needed oh so rarely,
Indeed, when my face at school is deemed so uncool
Then I know it is time to let you go, albeit warily.

Let go my hand, oh little one
It is time for your maiden flight,
Let go my hand, oh little one
The timing is oh so right.













Dedicated to my two beautifully-spirited girls who gave a sense of purpose to my life, and give me great joy, inspiration and contentment each and every day. I love you both so much! ❤❤❤
