Mother's hands--so beautiful! So dear!
Always manicured, smooth and soft.
But never idle hands!
Hands that lovingly, rightly disciplined.
Hands always ready to comfort.
Hands that soothingly caressed many a fevered brow.
Hands that patiently guided through frustrations.
Busy hands; cleaning, cooking, baking, sewing,
Unselfishly meeting the needs of her family.
Still, there was time to reach out to those in need.
Musical hands; on guitar, piano, organ.
Hands regularly seen holding Mother's guide book--the Bible.
Hands so often folded in prayer,
Then raised in praise when the answer came.
Hands no longer smooth, still so dear and beautiful.
Full of lines--character lines.
A reflection of a beautiful and inspiring life.
