Difficult
Please hold my
hand now
For I am finding I am alone
As I walk along this long,
Uneasy
path.
Please hold my hand now,
For now, more than ever before,
I need
someone,
I need you.
Keep me from tripping on
Any upturned roots in my
way.
If I stop and give up,
Pick me up and carry me
Until I can put my
feet back
On the ground.
The trees here are many.
The branches arch
above me
Blocking all hope of sunlight.
Use the light of your heart
To
guide me through the dark.
Whatever you do,
Don't let go of my hand.
I
need you so much now.
When this part's over,
You can let go.
But I'd
rather you wouldn't.
