Analysis of Hands That Hold
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
They hold your dreams,
Your fears and doubts,
Your hopes and wishes;
They hold your life,
Your pain and joy;
They hold onto memories,
Both good and bad;
They hold on tight,
To keep you steady;
They reach out,
To embrace your loved ones,
And offer support
When you need a hand;
Hands that hold
Are the ones
That truly matter,
The ones that help
You weather life's storms;
So, hold on tight
To those you love,
And cherish those
Who hold your hands.
