May I Hold Your Hands
May I Hold Your Hands
David J Walker
May I hold your hands
Your soft and smooth skin
Soothed my brow and
helped me breathe again
We were so young
And free back then
May I hold your hands
As we walk the paths of life
As man and loving wife
And laugh through daily strife
Then kneel to pray with hands in hands
And talk in coded words
That only we could understand
May I hold your hands
As chirping children claim
Our time for their demands
And grow like trees
In search of clouds
That fit their lofty plans
And mark the passing days
A lifetime spans
May I hold your hands
As the ages change the pages
Of our mortal plans
And clocks sound off the chimes
In fulgor times
That our horizon scans
As we alter all the dreams
That were once our plans
And face the fading twilight
Walking hands in hands
