Her Hands
by Sandra Carol Mers Clayton on Wednesday, May 30, 2012 at 1:04am ·
So, hands,
tell me please.
What stories
can you tell?
Of the life
you have lived
with this woman
loved so well?
You, hands,
once so young,
strong and wrinkle-free,
have lived so very long.
Through the years
you've helped her
as she lived and loved,
writing her life song.
And now, hands,
it's evening-
stop awhile
and rest.
You, and she,
have lived
life well
and have been very blessed.
