Holding Hands

REACH for my hand my little one, as your first steps bring you into my arms.

CLING to my hand my little one, as we look both ways before we cross.

BLOW me a kiss with your hand my little one, as I leave you on your first day of kinder.

WAVE your hand excitedly my little one, as you enter the schoolyard gates.

GRASP tight my hands my little one, as you cry with your first broken heart.

CLUTCH my hands with joy my little one, when you have met the man of your dreams.

SQUEEZE my hand my now grown up one, as you travel your own path.

R for how remarkable you both are.

C for how captivating you both can be

B for beautiful beyond words

W for words can’t describe how I love you both

G for the gladness you both bring to my heart

C for how charming you both are

S for so many years of happiness you have brought me

To my girls.
