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
