You held my hand to guide me

When I was too young to know

Through the good times and the bad times

You were there to watch me grow.

All through my years of childhood

Just yesterday it seems.

Now all I'm left are memories

Some photographs and dreams.

All the things I should have said

But now you'll never know,

How each moment was so precious

Until it was time to go.

Your journey on life's river run,

But you won't be alone,

As your spirit soars to freedom

And you find your way back home.

The anger and the pain I felt

Are easing with each day,

But the need to see your face once more

It will not go away.

So when it comes, my time to leave

this life, I hope and pray,

I'll see you come to take my hand

And help me find the way,

I'll see you come to take my hand

And help me find the way.
