You held My hands as I learned how to walk,
And after I could behind me you would stalk.
Afraid I might loose balance and fall,
But letting me go to learn to stand tall.
You held my hands as I crossed the street,
Afraid of the strangers that I might meet.
Eventually letting me go to cross them on my own,
Knowing you had helped teach me my way home.
You held my hands and stood next to me so proud,
Of the grand daughter you taught to stand her ground.
The one who has your kindness and your strong will,
And inside of her eyes she sees you there still.
I sat and held your hand as you gracefully slipped away,
I knew that with me you couldn't possibly stay.
Now your in heaven and will be smiling down,
Your beautiful face never showing pain or a frown..
