The Day You Took My Hand
How I Began a New Life with my New Love
Remember that day on the bridge?
I took your hand and you mine;
Walking alongside each other,
We strolled, my hand in your hand
With a new handbag in the other.
You were very happy, I could tell,
I was so glad that you were.
Many happy moments we have since,
With our hands held tight,
Over the many seasons with only us;
Take my hand, hold it close
To your heart as it speaks.
Take my hand,
I will hold on to you, my beloved darling,
I will never let you fall;
Walk beside me, my dearest,
I love to listen to your voice
As you walk with me,
And snuggled next to me in the car;
Your every word and laughter,
Sounds like heavenly music in the breeze,
Your heart ever so carefree;
That moment I will always treasure,
For our feelings were never deeper,
So open, so genuine and so honest;
Nurturing our blossoming love,
When you took my hand and
I took yours.
I held you in my arms,
Astounded at my new life,
Gazing at your profound innocence, confusion and curiosity;
Smiling when I gazed at you, my lover,
Take my hand and I will bring you home.
My loving hands so strong and firm,
Yet kind and gentle with you,
When kindness is so very hard to find;
You can trust my caring hands
For the times you wanna cry.
Take my hand, hold on tight,
The sands of time are ticking.
Never let go of this hand of mine,
Even when you feel your fingers slipping;
Intertwine them tightly in mine,
Fingers woven together,
They fit like one as natural twin
Like our hearts and souls.
Our hands are forever united
For the hard and easy times,
Through fame and fortune,
Sickness and health,
Take my hand, my beloved wife,
Take my hand and hold it by your side,
Take my love, I will never hurt you,
My joy will always drive your happiness,
Take my all, everything mine is yours,
My everything dear I will share with you,
Hold them close to your heart
As God grants us each other to love.
Forget not our happy times,
Over the seasons of endless times.
My dearest beloved wife,
I will never forget the joy in my heart
That day when my hand found yours
On that bridge in Singapore.
