Something to think about.... In celebration of April being National Poetry Month, I'm sharing a poem that I wrote about my mom's hands. MOTHER'S HANDS
by
Rough and chaffed from working so hard, Washing the dishes, raking the yard, Washing the clothes, scrubbing the floors, Canning the food, doing all their chores,
I remember my mother's hands.
Soft and gentle, so smooth to the touch, Soothing my pain, something to clutch, Holding my own when danger was near, Stroking me gently, or wiping a tear,
I remember my mother's hands.
Capable and strong, whatever the needs, Whether mending the clothes, or planting the seeds, Gentle and kind, full of comfort and care, Whatever the reason, they were always there,
I loved my mother's hands. |
