Hands
My hands
I am thankful for my hands
Hands that I rely upon to speak when words escapes me
Hands I often use as an extension of my expressions
My compassion
My skills – written, organizational, artistic
My joy
My hands
They are a blessing
They assist instinctively
Without hostility
Without complaints
Without objection
My hands,
In loyalty they help me continuously, effortlessly
To prepare meals
To manage my self-care
To care for others
To express love, sympathy and empathy
To communicate alternatively ensuring I am understood
My hands
They have never failed me
Even when injured they continue to support and sustain me
They have allowed me to hold, care and embrace my children
Squeeze my God sons and tickle them till they are breathless
Style my hair with attitude to express my mood.
My hands
They are a gift
A gift from God for whom I clasp them together in prayer and say thank you
I am grateful for my hands
My hands are a joy.
