    My Mothers Hands


    They lifted me in childhood

    They wiped away my tears

    They held me close in comfort

    Dispelling all my fears

    They scrubbed and cooked and gardened

    They were busy every day

    They spanked me when I needed it

    And led me all the way

    Her heart is good and kind

    Her beauty I could boast

    I love everything about her

    But I love her hands the most

    Her heart is filled with love

    And love has its demands

    This labor of love speaks to me

    In my Mothers hands

    For my Mother
