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
