Her Hand

                  Her hand touches my life
                  And guides me through each step
                  Sometimes it is a gentle touch
                  At other times it is a hard grasp
                  But nonetheless She is there

                  Her hand never forces me
                  To walk this way or that
                  The choice is always mine
                  But she tries to help me
                  Make the right choices

                  Her hand is always there
                  For me to hold on to leisurely
                  Or for me to grasp in a hurry
                  It is always out stretched
                  For me to touch if I desire

                  Her hand is always there
                  To wipe away my tears
                  Or caress my face in comfort
                  It is there to steady me
                  And it is there to shake me

                  Her hand is strong
                  Her hand is gentle
                  Her hand is soft
                  Her hand is firm
                  Her hand holds life
