She Held My Hand
Sick and scared I laid there by her
Until knowingly she held my hand
Then all my fears just fled away
As I drifted on to sweet dreams land
My heart was thumping palms sweating
As she slowly and timidly held my hand
Two young loves sitting close together
These new feelings sure were grand
I stared at her tiny frame in disbelief
Then out of her blanket she held my hand
Just hours old and already a daddy’s girl
I knew right then for her I’d take a stand
I helped her out of the car seat and down
As we started to walk she held my hand
And in that moment all of life is in harmony
My little granddaughter and I are a strand
