A Helping Hand (small stone 10)


a tiny hand
slips quickly into mine
a gentle squeeze felt, as she looks up at me
eyes wide, full of concern
her grasp speaks for itself
small yet mighty
she steadies my faltering gait
with her love

~Karen



I am participating in The River Of Stones.
by writing a small stone every day for the month of January.
A *small stone is a very short piece of writing that precisely captures a fully-engaged moment.

My granddaughter is my joy. We spend a lot of time together. She just turned 7, but sees well beyond her years. Little is ever spoken of my illness, yet she intuitively knows when I am having a bad day, lends a hand, and comforts my soul.
