Please take my trembling hand <br />and comfort me through the tumultous night. <br />Let me pass away in a peaceful slumber <br />before dawn's early light <br /> <br />If I know you are beside me, <br />I will overcome any fear. <br />My concerns and my worries <br />will be forgotten because you are near. <br /> <br />So, please be at my bedside <br />until it is time for me to go <br />to join my departed kinfolk and friends <br />that I had loved and missed from long ago.<br /><br />Joseph T. Renaldi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/take-my-hand-56/
