Give me your hand so I may
hold it tightly within mine
and walk with you.
Give me your gentle heart that I may care for it
when days fall apart, fail us
or allow us to succumb  to
the remotest corner of our minds.
Give me your love so I might take it
to a place you may never have thought to visit.
And then to weave it tightly in a silken cloth
that cannot easily come undone.

 

Place your trust in me to bring colour to your cheeks
and  joy to your days.
Give me your dreams that I may place them
in a small trinket box for safe-keeping,
so you may return once more and share them with me.
Give me your wisdom so I may learn from you.
Allow me a small place in your heart even though
I am unable to yearn for more…

 

Give me your hand so I may walk with you…
