Your Big, Strong Hand Poem by Louise Tredoux

I will never let go of your big, strong hand
if you won’t pull it away, I will never leave
your wise company, it you will let me stay,
I will never tire of listening to your meditative
ruminations about the meaning of life if you
will allow me to question you afterwards, I
will always rejoice in the sweetness of true
friendship that is based on love and accep-
tance, I will always try to be worthy of trust
and loyalty, and when my heart starts beating
wildly, I will always share my passions with
the beloved of my heart…
