Hold My Hand Today

These hands have soothed ills

they have sauntered up and down halls

pushing evil pills

These hands have held new born babies

and held on to friends who were battling

with what ifs and maybes

These hands have sent others to the other side

and then held their loved ones in my arms

as they shook, wept and cried

These hands have clapped for musicians and artists

as they shared their gifts on stage

singing and vibing out their wisdom, now a part of us

These hands have waved hello as love walked into the room

and waved goodbye

as the love died...never to be exhumed

These hands have been held in precious moments by you 

as your fingers intertwined with mine

you held a part of my life briefly, too

In holding, you helped  me to raise a burden or share my peace

directly sent from my palm to yours

in the energetic exchange, you assisted in a joyous release

Hold my hand today....let yourself feel alive

take the time to feel me there

Find yourself in my touch and in my eyes
