On My Bones

 

Hardworking hands,

never put to rest.

Heartache and pain,

a chance to change.

The hope to be stronger,

that beauty can smoulder.

Joy and care,

being prepared.

Till my body is dust,

and my soul is no more,

I will love you.

This life has been hard,

on my bones.

I like the feel of this one Amy. It leaves things open and that allows the reader to make it their own. Always a good way to craft a poem.
