‘Hold me a little tighter Momma, life is moving by so fast.’: Mom pens touching letter from perspective of child, ‘Holding you all these years has meant more than you’ll ever know’

“Hold me a little tighter Momma,
Help soothe these midnight cries.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
I may fall down at times.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
This bike will surely fall.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
I’m growing big and tall.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
I’m afraid to start this school.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
These kids can be pretty cruel.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
I’m sorry about the car.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
I can’t handle this broken heart.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
It’s my graduation day.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
This college is so far away.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
Real life wasn’t what I thought.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
I think I’ve found the one.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
Today I say I do.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
We’ve got some big news.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
And hold this little one too.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
Life is moving by so fast.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
I’ve got so much I need to ask.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
Please tell me all that you know.

Hold me a little tighter Momma,
I’m not ready for you to go.

Hold me a little longer my love,
I’ll never let you go.

Holding you all these years my child,
Has meant more than you’ll ever know.”
