Let me hold this flower in my hand
No words, no judgement, only let it be
Give it time to live, to grow, to bloom
To show its colors strong and true and free
Let me stay within this sunshine beam
And do not rush it as it lights the way
Until I do not fear the shadows cast
And see the dark of night turn into day
Let me hold this little child’s hand
While she learns how to walk out on her own
To guide, protect, to be there by her side
Until she knows she’ll never be alone
