Hands

these hands tell stories,
sing songs,
they weep of sorrow,
and laugh of love.
they are scarred and weathered,
ruff and strong
tender and wise.
they are yours,
reaching out;
take them.

Hands are very sacred and precious, we should be careful of who we offer them to.

[Mockingbird]

it brings to mind this person is wise and experienced, and that the other he is asking to take his hands should not be scared, and know that they will be safe. great poem!

This is something different, rather 'unique'. The focus on hands alone tells so many stories of a lifetime. The last two lines were brilliant. Well done!

[Dayran]

It could be the hands of life, from mother to son and to the world. A great write!
