My hands

My hands My hands show my life As a mother and a wife They show the work I have done  They show the good times and the  fun They show my insecurities They show my purities My hands have felt a lifetime  They have felt a lifeline They have held a hand Touched the smoothness of sand They have waved good bye They have waved hi I can see where I've been Places never to go again They will take me around the next bend They are my own to the end
