Take My Hand

I felt your anguish
that you could not unleash
too much pride
that you wanted to hide
but lost you were
to battle against despair
yet life you lived
you need be relieved.

All your years in solitude
you showed me your gratitude
I was there
when you could not bear
the world which seemed unfair
when you were not able to cope
I was there
to give you hope.

I tried to console
and enliven your soul
in your eyes I saw
loneliness that grew
over the years
you loomed in fear
yet I was there
when you were in pain and tears.

Take my hand
so that you can stand
have my heart
for you to start
a life devoid of pride
hold me tight
as I give you the light
that will brighten
many of your darkest nights..
