A little insight to who I am

Hands of Life



Tiny fingers grasping at life
Thumbs taste so good to small ones
First steps taken with fingers holding tight

Aglow with delight as little hands play patty-cake
Holding Mommy's hand to cross the street
Trying hard to make those hands draw

Fingers clutching Mama's flower
Twirling high in Daddy's arms
Thumb wars with cousins are so fun
Fingers tingle from a caterpillar's hairy legs
Hands waving furiously at Grandma and Grandpa
Peeking between fingers to see the suprise
Clasping hands in prayer before bed

Hand to foot in a cart wheel

Hands grip the steering wheel
A finger taps your shoulder lightly
Walking on a moonlit road, hand in hand
Arms linked, Daddy walks you down the aisle
Beach walks, fingers draw hearts in the sand
Hands massage outstretched stomach
Recieve a punch from a fist inside
Arms gently cradling a tiny babe
A yawn accompanies arms stretching
Reaching down fingers caress his forehead
Smiling with glee as his thumb slides into place
Hand in hand, you watch the children play
Fingers intertwine years down the road
There is wonder in the hands of life
