"Hands" Fragile hands so frail and thin It's hard to know where they have been Moments so precious it's hard to believe All that these hands have touched and seen They wither away one day at a time But the stories they cherish will last a lifetime Deep within an old women's heart Is a story, a background, right from the start It's not the body that these hand are on But the soul to which these hands belong. For soon one day these hands will fly away But the stories, the moments are sure to stay These stories will be passed on to a generation or two Who's hands will also wither away soon. But don't forget the moments we share For its the love and memories that will always be there.
