Hold my hand, darling

If only you can hold my hands

Like you held your hat that day

You'll feel the shelter I'll provide

Against more than mere sun rays.

 

If only you can find my path

Your feet will not get wet

But your downcast eyes seem pensively lost

Where the cumulonimbus clouds your head.

 

If only you can trust my words

And not the foamy white spray

The tides of life will come and go

But I am here to stay.

 

If only you can hear my voice

Above the waves' loud shouts

You, my words will tightly cocoon

And turn to faith, your doubts.

Trust these days comes at a heavy price Mr. :)
its hard to find those who stay and even harder to hold on to that trust that they will isn't it..

Nothing is forever... not you , not me.. everything keeps evolving..for better or for worse... that's what am learning these days :P

Well, people sometimes sounds rather fatalistic about what happens to us in life, as if it is purely random. What we sow we will reap - that is a universal principle applicable to us all. From a relationship point of view, one can plan to reap trust by being trustworthy. One does not have to “hope” to remain together with one’s significant other, one can “know” it - but this probably sounds irrational in a modern culture where steps towards divorce is already spelled out in pre-nuptial agreements. Once again, if short-term relationships are what people plan for then that is what they will get, unfortunately

Oh My !
The message is loud and clear but Artistically spoken. Al I could think of here while reading was that :"what he wishes for he has." for as long as he is asking yet she is still there. Whatever words she speaks that may give doubt are only her foamy white spray. She too is here to stay.
