Let me hold your hand

Whenever you want to cry

I will never tell you to stop

I will just wipe your cheeks dry

Let me whisper encouragement to your ears

Because that’s all I can do for you

I can only imagine how painful everything will be

If only I can bear the pain for you

Let me hold you tight in my embrace

When you can no longer stand on your own

I will help you in every step you take

I will carry you, if you will allow me to

Let me sing lullabies as you sleep

So I will know that you will slumber deeply

And forget the pain the treatments bring

If only for a moment, even just a wink

Remember I will be here

Even if you let me, I will never wander away

I will be here right beside you, my dear

So don’t frown, because I’m here to stay
