You Held Me
You held me when I was young and tender
knew nothing of the world
you taught me to be a lover
the beautiful world of skin and body
You held me when you told me
of your betrayal
you taught me love and hate
can exist in the same heart
You held me when our babies were born
whispering courage
you taught me men can change
when there is a family to fight for
You held me when days were grey
and almost overtook me
you taught me strength comes
in so many different forms
You held me when our children wed
the dance floor calling
you taught me now is the time to dance
because we may not have tomorrow
You released me when I needed to go
your heart breaking
you taught me what it means
to truly love someone

Another beautiful piece of writing!
Beautiful Alice.
