I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand
Simon and Garfunkle, Bleeker Street
I saw an older couple walking down the street holding hands
There was such a connection
memories passing through the touch of one hand to another
Without a word
Just holding hands
Kids holding hands,
sharing all that is new
Without a word....just holding hands and understanding
Hopes that pass from one hand to another
Strength that is given to the hand that is held for the very first time
Holding hands keeps you from drifting away
Today
Hold someone's hand
Even if it is your own
Until you find
A Friend
and that's poetiquejustis
For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you,
“Fear not, I am the one who helps you.”
Isaiah 41:13
