Holding a Small Hand

my hands are worn with age her hands are plump with youth the loving is the same though In their clasp there is a truth I hold the future in my hand she holds memories of the past her grandma is the tie that binds One day she will understand at last such trust in her little grasp and security and love in mine together we will walk the path I know for her stars will yet align Holding hands a lovely treasure A small gift given without measure...
