A Hand To Hold

 

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on here. It’s been a long time since I wrote some song lyrics. This gem came around while visiting my wife Sylvia in the nursing home. She suffers from dementia.

 

It is my plan to publish another book of song lyrics to follow up the smashing success of “Without The Music.” I have been thinking of an appropriate name. Why don’t you suggest a title for my next book of song lyrics in the comments? 

A Hand To Hold

 

Sylvia sits waiting in her chair

And God is still despite prayer

Yesterday gone tomorrow unsure

Somehow I thought there’d be more

 

I’ve got a hand to hold

Fire burns in the cold

A story to be told

I’ve got a hand to hold

 

Old and gray the hours wasting away

Crosses are cruel so they say

But I step out of the flow of time

To jot down this humble rhyme

 

I’ve got a hand to hold

Fire burns in the cold

A story to be told

I’ve got a hand to hold

 

Sometimes Sylvia remembers me

Mostly I’m a mystery

We’re lost in space where are all the stars?

In a band playing guitars

 

I’ve got a hand to hold

Fire burns in the cold

A story to be told

I’ve got a hand to hold

 

In a world of greed we need to comprehend

That love is the only thing that has no end

Sylvia’s hand in mine she holds on tight

Love, friend, companion my sweetest delight

 

A sad face stings deep inside my heart

Our vows to death do us part

True love it either dies or grows

So the river gently flows

 

I’ve got a hand to hold

Fire burns in the cold

A story to be told

I’ve got a hand to hold
