Guiding Hands

Sam hands to me a gift so fine

Smoked glass globe resting in a hand

Australia very visible

Where a promise to Caitlin starts

I take a breath and wonder

How did I get to be standing here?

Then I remember it was easy

It just needed to be game to take the first step

On this journey into HOPE and Peace

As I look at Sam and Peggy

Guiding me along the way

Around this globe so fragile

I will carry all our Hands of Peace

If today is what awaits me

This promise - I will get to keep.
