Hands

holding hands
keep precious hearts
together
closely beating

and with more flesh
than we’ve ever seen
just as close
as our nearest screen

hands
holding hands
stops roving eyes
from ever cheating

and if my own story
was ever to be truly told
I always took
holding hands for granted
until that day
my Love went away
and I was left without
a single loving hand to hold

the truth of this matter
to me then
it did unfold
no one should ever
have to live or die
without a loving
caring
hand to hold

hands
holding hands
just the very purest
purest – loving gold
