Hands
by Rhonda Smith Young, soft, supple hands-beautiful grace the young girl before him Unworked hands Long, pretty nails sculptured just so How beautiful they are As he places the ring on her left ring finger, he says,"I do." Plump, rosy, beautifully chubby hands grace the baby before them, God's son So adorable as one hand grasps His mother's finger Trusting hands, true and innocent hands Calloused, rough, hardworked hands are of the carpenter and God's son As they nail one board to another, measure, cut, and nail again True hands, honest hands, hardworking hands Also, aging hands nearby Also, worked hands Virtuous hands nearby prepare meals for the carpenter and God's son Virtuous hands, sweet hands, gentle and meek Loving hands that give life itself For now and eternity God's son's hands Gentle and kind, that heal the sick and broken of heart, troubled and discouraged Nailed to a cross for all sinners who will believe Hands that didn't have to sacrifice anything Beautiful, loving, giving, couragous, and gentle Outstretched for all who will come My name is Rhonda Smith. I am from Meridian, MS. I love poetry. I remember one of my favorite gifts as a child was a Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme book. It's amazing that the lyrical children's poems made me want to write, but it did. I have been writing since I was 13. Hope you enjoy. Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
