I'll Be There

I slipped my hand in your hand,
And walked you out the door.
Smiled at you,
A twinkle in my eye.
You stood out like a glow in the crowd,
Beckoning me to see you through.
Such a simple thing to do,
But just as important.
We walked hand in hand,
Right through the door.
A kiss on the cheek,
A squeeze of the hand.
A loving gesture,
But so much more.
I released your hand,
But you jumped right back.
A scared puppy,
An unwanted, poor kid.
So again,
We walked hand in hand.
Through all life's doors.
Conquering all challenges thrown our way.
