A few special thoughts to share ~







HER HANDS...

Her hands held me gently from the day 
I took my first breath.
Her hands helped to guide me 
as I took my first step.
Her hands held me close when the tears 
would start to fall.
Her hands were quick to show me 
that she would take care of it all.

Her hands were there to brush my hair, 
or straighten a wayward bow.
Her hands were often there to comfort the hurts 
that didn't always show.
Her hands helped hold the stars in place, 
and encouraged me to reach.
Her hands would clap and cheer
and praise when I captured them at length.

Her hands would also push me,
though not down or in harms way.
Her hands would punctuate the words, 
just do what I say.
Her hands sometimes had to discipline, 
to help bend this young tree.
Her hands would shape and mold me 
into all she knew I could be.

Her hands are now twisting with age 
and years of work,
Her hand now needs my gentle touch 
to rub away the hurt.
Her hands are more beautiful 
than anything can be.
Her hands are the reason I am me.

This brought tears to my eyes as my mom is struggling with dementia. She wept on the phone last night because she now knows she is losing her memory. Heartbreaking. This was a beautiful reminder of who she used to be.
