Hold My Hand Tighter

You often whisper words to me in my ear,
But there is so much noise around that I cant always hear,

You tell me when to run or how to climb a wall,
But when I can't hear your voice I sometimes trip or fall.

I can't see where we're going
but I feel the touch of your hand on mine knowing-
that were going somewhere
and I'm safe while I'm in your care.

You would never leave me, that I know
but please just hold my hand tighter so I can never let go.
