Go West Project - Dan

DAN

It was the incidental gestures,

like the ease in which her tiny fingers latched onto his,

that caused Dan’s breath to catch.

When he tried to grasp the territory they would cover together,

he became overwhelmed.

He silently assured her he’d always be there to steady her,

for as long as she needed,

for as long as she wanted,

for as long as he was able.

He was humbled to know if life ran it’s natural course,

he would be the one in need of her sturdy hand.
