- Take My Hand -

It is through joy future should be measured
   Love's temple will be built as a warm nest
   He stretches out his hand and touches her lightly
   A hand can be a silent prayer for love
   The hand can often say more than a mouthful of words can say
   "Softer than the summer wind - his loving hand" she whispered tenderly
   Hold her by the hand ... do not let go
   Merging hands together in everlasting love
   A warm and tender hand ... a hand giving and do not require
   Take her heart in your hands ... know the strength and vibration of love
   Her life is in your hands ... forever she will stay with you
   Put an eternity ring on her finger ... Shaking hands with joy
   From that day they always go Hand in Hand
   Two, we must be to build the temple of love

A very nice poem with such tenderness and emotion. Really nice Anne. I don't always get a chance to get on to Poetry Soup. I'm always so busy working on writing my books and short stories. I finally got on tonight to post a few poems. Take care Celine Rose Mariotti

Taking someone's hand can evoke assortment of emotions and strike different thoughts. With this one, it's purely innocent love and eternal union. A celebration of love. Beautiful!
