You Took my Hand

You Took My Hand....

You took my hand
and led me on a journey
A journey the two of us went on
I was unsure
but you took my hand and made
it all feel safe and not wrong
You took my hand
gently but strong
showed me a road I had never walked on
A road filled with much I hadnt known
You took my hand and in doing so
breathed life back into my soul
Smiles and laughter,how good it felt
You took my hand and together we walked
as we did my world became full
of sunshine and warmth
I wondered where I was, where
was this place,but did not care
cause I was enjoying our journey
the walk we shared
You no longer took my
hand,because now I gave
it to you
trusting
without question or wonder
As i gave you my hand you
took my heart
You took my heart
warmly
you took my heart
always gently
carefully
holding it in your hands
knowing its fragility
always careful
I gave you my heart
I gave all I can
How can this be bad?
Why then am I feeling so sad?
Are we at a cross road?
Which road will we go down?
Where's our journey to go now?
Where is my warm sunshine?
You told me you'd always be there
My shoulder
My friend
has this all been a dream?
or all has been real?
Is that my hand at my side
once again
alone?

Re: You Took my Hand

Thank you again!..and your right sometimes writing is all we have...i have been writing "throughout" my life but just not on an all the time basis(until it seems like this year)-like I said something or someone has to move me emotionally.. Maybe it can be looked at some good coming out of some bad or saddness in this case--again thank you for ur words of praise and encouragement!..Debbie
