When you placed your little hand in mine
I understood that gesture meant unity and protection
And found sustenance and shelter in your gentle touch
As our fingers interlaced, separated, grasped
My moist palm grazed the softness of your skin
Then I lifted my arm to bring your hand to my lips
And that chaste, reverent kiss was my sacred vow
To support, respect, cherish and uplift you tomorrow
As much as I need, love and desire you today.
