God gave you two precious arms to wrap
around my waist and two hands with fingers
for wiping away tears, caressing hair, holding hands,
and holding tight.
God gave you two eyes to see the world
and a heart to feel it.
God gave you a nose to smell the flowers, fresh grass,
candles burning, scents of hair, and so much more.
God gave you ears to hear music, crying, cheering,
glee, sorrow, wisdom, and for listening to others.
God gave you a lap for me to sit on, too.
So, can you please just not let go and hold me?
