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
