She Held My Hand

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
