I Hold My Own Hand

I remember when you helped me do everything,

When you held my hand.

I recall the sidewalk always hit me, 

And I never fell down.

I remember when the sidewalk disappeared, 

And when you were gone.

That one book told me it would end one day,

But I thought you'd be there to see the road end with me.

Instead I jumped,

leaving all behind for somewhere new.

I remember when I took my first step without you,

I was holding my own hand.
