Question

Read the poem and answer the following questions. (5mks)

Holding Hands



When he was little

I used to hold

His small chubby hand in mine

To steady him



Now he won’t let me.

He’s a big boy

And walks tall

Without his mother’s help.

Some day, when he becomes a man,

And I grow old and feeble,

Perhaps

He’ll hold my hands to steady me.

May be then

We’ll walk hand in hand again.
