Come Dear Give Me Your Hand
Take me down to the water again
I long to walk on the sand.
Walk me down to the water's edge,
Come dear, give me your hand.
Ease me along in my walker
Until I can go no more.
Watch me wheel to the sandy edge,
Then walk me down to the shore.
Let me remember the days long gone
When I'd run and dive in the sea.
Let me get just one toe wet
And thrill at what used to be.
Oh! work with me just a wee bit more
I fear that it shan't be long.
Oh! help me down just one more time
Too soon I shall be gone.
Walk with me with the love you have
Share with a heart that's true.
Walk with me, and in your turn,
May you have such kindness too.
