I held your hand

I held your hand today mum

I held it close in mine
For today I finally realised
There isn't much more time
Though your hand was warm mum
I felt sadness in my heart
For indeed I know dear
We must surely grow apart
We have lived our lives dear
We have loved each other well
And soon I guess it will come
When I must say goodbye mum
I must allow this time to run...
