THE ART OF HOLDING HANDS THE SEQUEL

From my little spot upon this world…this tiny place from where I stand

I have to wonder if there’s anything more beautiful than the art of holding hands.

Holding hands is an art…It’s as beautiful as any moonlit night…any rainbow

any sunrise that paints the birth of a new day.

It’s more beautiful than da Vinci’s Mona Lisa…or the sunflowers of Monet.

Is there anything more innocent and pure…filled with more softness and more power 

than when a baby who’s just been born puts their little hand in ours?

Is there anything more wonderful…more profound in this or any land…

then when that same baby…now a child still wants to hold our hand?

For there will come a time…one day…a time all parents understand…

when that baby becomes too old…too independent…

and no longer need to hold our hands.

Perhaps that’s why we keep their handprints…from a time when they were small 

stuck on our refrigerators or framed upon our walls.

Yes, there is something inherently beautiful…artistic 

in the way our fingers fit together when another hand we hold…

how we are never to young to hold hands, 

how we will never be too old.

And why, when we see hand-holding anywhere in the world,

we smile because we understand

the beauty and the art of the bond…

connecting people holding hands.

Have you noticed no matter our genders, our colors, our religions…

If we are young…or old and gray…

no matter where we lin the world we come from

we all hold hands in the same way? 

The beauty is watching two lovers holding hands, 

a parent and a child 

or two children having fun…

The art is created when we see how those two people 

when their hands are joined together…

become one.
