The Heart Of These Hands

The Heart Of These Hands

© by Bud Lemire on March 7, 2017

There's a story in these hands, and it's different for every pair

A heartbeat and a journey, in a lifetime that we share

We use them, in many a different way

We make the most of them, throughout every day

Nothing with our hands, is out of reach

Hand in Hand walking along the Beach

Hands to write, hands to strum

Hands to play piano, or play the drum

Each hand guides us in our part

Because within each, beats a heart

From tiny hands at birth, to bigger hands as we grow

We take our hands with us, wherever we go

Some of us raise a family, some of us live alone

We use them to our best ability, with everything we've known

Gentle hands, that guide us each

Experiencing the touch, from what they teach

The Heart of these hands, can be found everywhere

When your hands are used, and show that they care

Our hands have a story to tell. A story of our journey

in life, and everything that we did with them. All the

things we did as we traveled through time, up to the

present moment. I've got to hand it to you, you used

them well. So put your hands together and applaud

yourself for your hands that were lead by your heart.
