The Hand

You held my hand,

On a path,

Along the way,

Through the storms,

That come our way,

On a path,

You held it tight,

Safe I was,

With that touch,

Then one day,

It slipped away,

Gone you were,

Far away,

Tears were shed,

For you were gone,

Left me here all alone,

All that remain,

Memories dear,

In my heart,

You will remain,

Until we meet again,

At the gates,

When they call my name........
