Holding Feelings  
 
 
 

If only I could place my feelings in the palm of your hand.
Close your fingers around, you could hold them near, then you would understand.
The feeling I have for you, so deep and true.
My first and last thoughts of the day, are only of you.
If only you could catch my words in the palm of your hand and hold them near.
Then cup your hand and hear my words of love, when put next to your ear.
But feelings and words seem to be fleeting things the hand can not hold.
They belong deep within the heart I'm told.
So I shall hold your hand in mine, fold my fingers around then pull you near.
I'll tell you of my love for you, and pray you hold it in your heart forever my dear.
