Whose hand will hold Mom's?

I wonder whose hand will hold Mom's when she's seventy,

When her skin is wrinkled, and her vision is blurry
When she sits by the couch, watching old romance on TV,
Patting her back, cuddling, making her coffee?

For sure when she was young like me
She must've envisioned she'd age happily
She and Daddy stronger and better
Each year as they celebrate their anniversary.

But Mom's hands aren't held by any man now
Since Daddy left, she seriously took a vow
She'd raise her daughters the best way she can
Even if she does it without a partner, a man.

Now with her daughters all grown up,
Each of them to their pursuits tied up, 
Visits to Mom get scarcer and scarcer,
I cannot help but start to ponder...

Who will hold Mom's hands?

No need to wonder,
We've got each other.
