I held the hand tightly

Grasping to clear sight and what is near

Not seeing and not feeling

Not letting go of all this fear

I yearn to see the light of day

Learning this light was not my sun

I wasn’t ever letting go

Not seeing that it’s done

I held the hand so tightly

To feel sorrow in the sight

See it clearly, more than ever

To water down my fight

I wasn’t ever letting go

Just put some sense into the name

I grasp tighter now, more than ever

The serenity that keeps me sane
