Hold Tight

So young, so truly innocent So very much "in love" Or in love with what we thought love was Promises.... Made in the dark The promise of forever love Submitting to him Giving to him, what you can give only once in a lifetime Believing, believing that no matter what You would always be together Sharing your love, as you can do only that one precious time Then the news comes... Scared, so scared you can't breathe That one time, that special, precious time Has produced a bond that will tie you forever He bolts.... The lights turned on, to those promises made in the dark Frightened, alone...trying to make the decision that's right Carrying that special bond between us alone... For nine months, feeling you grow inside me Not being able to take from you, as I gave mine away Childhood The decision was clearly mine And knew I could not give to you Everything and more That you so deserved Being no more than a child myself January 11, 1978 Happy Birthday my sweet baby... As I held you, loved you, and kissed you goodbye... Holding tight my dreams for the perfect future for you 21 years later Still holding tight.. I Love You
