My whole life
i've been the lifeline
the tether,
the thing that holds tight
when every other grip lets go
and now you stand here
with your goofy smile
with mischif in your eyes
you with your soft fingers
you with no fear of hights
you reach out to my white-knuckled resolve
and ask me to hold your hand.
