Love is a hunger in my soul Needing someone to hold And return the feelings to me That I am loved you see. God put this longing in my heart As a child of tender years Lifting me up wiping away my tears And from me it will never depart. The longing continued to grow Staying with me where ever I go And in the twilight of life it lingers still And always will. The need for someone to hold Was mine as a baby and I grasped a finger Growing to include those I knew Sustaining me all my life through. A need to hold a lover Who captured my heart when we met And became his loving wife Holding him near to my heart all my life. To complete my need to hold someone Came with the birth of my son. One after the other they came And my life was never the same. All through life a need to hold Reached out to friends who clasped my hand Sharing hearts to understand My heart was big enough To hold them near, Precious and dear. Through the passing of years To have someone to hold Continues to fill the empty space When loved ones slipped away Leaving a yearning to hold once more When we meet on heaven's shore.
