I want to thank my daughter for the inspiration for the following post. I have already posted something in memory of mom in “I Will Remember” but her comment on the post gave me pause to post yet something more with her comment on ‘hands’. It brought tears to my eyes and then I began to write.
Her Hands
Her hands brought love in
food she prepared, the baked
goods, the dinners, the
table laden there
Her hands brought love in
hair that she washed, brushed,
cut and braided with care
unsurpassed
Her hands brought love in
teaching many a passion for
reading, sewing, gardening
lives seen with compassion
Her hands brought love in
strength a heart holding life
lived through all of us to the
end from the start
