Holding You Up

I was going through old photographs

For the first time in years

It's amazing the memories they still hold

All the smiles, all the tears



Then I came across this one

Of a baby girl and little boy

I was holding you up with my hand

As you played with a brand new toy



It was the first time of many

That special Christmas morn'

I protected my little sis

And a brothers Love was born



Although we're no longer together

My Love for you does not lack

And I hope you can still feel

My hand upon your back



I'll always be there to protect you

No matter how near or how far

Always behind you, holding you up

With you wherever you are
