Hold My Hand Poem by Joshua Merchand

To pause and ponder life with three score years,
Gratitude; sober’ty, lend me your ears.
To cry out, search within, and reach above
Oh women; Oh Woman! Where forth art Love?

Infant babe, reaches out, needs love to live;
You are There; at four years, you touch to Give.

Family, called The Ship. Captain, “Align! ” .
“To conform, to be part, thou art All Mine! ”
Enforcement by terror; we witness hell
Peed my pants; panties stink; we dare not tell.

Later on, recov’ry; you lifted me.
Courage Heals, Free from shame; Liberty!

From the start; until now, Carla loves me!
Woman Love. Thou art call’d; Eternally.
