Hold My Hand

Hold my hand,
As I take my first steps.
Hold my hand,
And keep me from falling.
Hold my hand,

Hold my hand,
For my first day of school.
Hold my hand,
And I won’t feel so small,
Hold my hand.

Hold my hand,
Today’s my first date.
Hold my hand,
And I won’t be so nervous.
Hold my hand.

Hold my hand,
As I walk down the isle.
Hold my hand,
And we will become one.
Hold my hand.

Hold my hand,
While I carry this small person,
Hold my hand,
And I shall bare new life.
Hold my hand.

Hold my hand,
As my life nears it’s end.
Hold my hand,
And I will be comforted.
Hold my hand

Hold my hand
Lord
Hold my hand.

    quite a lovely piece, although this cycle of life is becoming a bit of a cliche...

    good luck,

    This:
    "hold my hand,i have to pee,hold my hand(weiner)im drunk and cant aim so well.hold my hand,ive gone blind from mastur"
    Is in no way funnny or fun. it is disrespectful and rude. And young people should not read this. Maybe if you are have a son or daughter you would understand. Because I know you wouldn't want them read THIS

    John, This comment it compelte rude and not to mention disrespectful. She work hard on that poem and you say those horrible things! I commented truthfully and kindly to one of your poems. Now I wish I had said something rude. Childeren read these poems! As a 31 yo man you should be more aware of them. Do you REALLY think it is APPROPIATE for kids to read such DISGUSTING words? You sick if you do. And rude. I hope one day you grow up and see the error in your ways

    That is so cool. At first I thought it was your worldly parents, but after reading it, its the father that will never fail. I love this poem. Its cool how you took this picture, and reflected on your Christianity. I like it alot.

    I love this poem so much! I feel everything. You present it beautifully. All I can say is WOW. Simply WOW. You are a fantastic poet and probably a wonderful person. /in response to John's comment. Some people are ingornant and jealous. You should be proud of your work even when it isnt your best. People like that aren't worth the patxh of internet they roam on. Stick up for yourself and your talent. You deserve a good truth comment. Even if they dislike the poem, they shouldn't say such DISGUSTING and DISRESPECTFUL things. Again great poem! Keep up the good work!

    uplifting

    'isle' = 'aisle'

    Jesus holds our hand and you have explained this with real feeling. It also reminded me of my Mother who also held my hand through all those steps...till the end, becasue I held her hand when she went to Jesus.

    I like the use of repetition

    Your poem has touched my spiritual side. Brings a tear. Thank you.

    Nicely Done

    This is such a soft and beautiful expression of faith. The words are short and sweet but they carry such weight. I can feel the depth of the faith of the speaker. It is my dearest hope that this is your faith.
    Much Love

    nice job

    "hold my hand and keep my from falling"... possibly "me" from falling? Just thought I would check..

    This was like a gentle walk through life and seemed to be with different people at different stages and like the "footprints"... in the end, Ahhhhh, it was the Lord. You did a nice job on this piece and you should certainly be proud of it. Thanks for sharing.
