Mother's Loving Hands
Hands that have
played as a child,
and as she grew, these hands worked in the garden in the morning,
baked and cooked in the afternoon to feed her family, and many times, friends, at night.
These hands
worked full time,
unselfishly volunteered her time,
bathed her children on Saturday nights, helping them with their Sunday School lessons,
nursing her children when they were sick, loving her husband unconditionally.
These hands held
her husband’s hand for 72 yrs.,
her children’s hands for over 71 yrs.,
her grandchildren’s hands for over 45 yrs. And her great-children’s hands for over 20 yrs.
These are the softest, kindest hands I first held.
Your loving hands have touched many lives.
