Hold on (you better)
310
We hold on tight as protection from the human fright
Supporting both, never alone, waiting for the next bus home
The touch of tenderness, sensitivity and, maybe, a little stability
Four hands appear as one. A front against the world
Using subtle interaction, guiding with the minimum of perceivable direction
Through vistas modern and past, united in our every path
Trying not to fall down; holding firmly to solid ground
Gestures of fondness, to memories of times with more kindness
To be there when one needs more than the other
Bringing up the rear, fond or inappropriate: never that clear

Fantastic series. Such tender and playful moments captured.
Great, Richard. The last photo is priceless. :)
It inspired me to write a little quatrain:
Life is hard, it deals its blows,
Yet we mustn't lose our way, we suppose.
In life's journey, side by side we stride,
Together, we'll weather each turbulent ride.
