The Gift of Hands

take care of them

When we look at our hands
we know something that is true
It is all about appreciating
what they do for me and you

 

The evolution of man
depended primarily on them
From the first use of tools
to playing the violin

 

Any act the mind can conjure
needs hands help to carry it out
The truth of this is for sure
and there is never any doubt

 

Your defense from any attack
is certainly in your hands
Without them you would lack
ability to fulfill life's demands

 

We depend on their help
as we have always done
It is what they did for us
in every battle we've won

 

No act would be the same
without the use of our hands
Anyone who has lost them
certainly understands

 

Take good care of them
they cannot be replaced
You have used what they could do
in any problem you have faced

 

I have written this little poem
about what you need to do
I say this with some hope
that you understand too
