Adrian Wait - Holding Hands

2014-10-29 33

Tiny hand grasps
A mother’s finger
Holding hands

First steps
The letting go
Holding Hands

First day at school
A tighter grasp
Holding hands

First friends
With joy shared
Holding hands

The shock of pain
Gentle assurance
Holding Hands

Growing years
Gentle casual touch
Holding Hands

Loves early days
Nervous risk
Holding hands

Passionate love
Giving of self
Holding Hands

A Day of Days
Together forever
Holding Hands

Circle of life
A mother’s finger
Holding hands

Heartbreak
Farewell to love
Holding Hands

Into Eternity
Reunion of love
Holding Hands
