...........Look at these Hands.......11-6-06
To my husband and children and all my poet friends on the tree~

Look at these hands
so long and slim
they held and loved
all my six children
worked and toiled to
keep the laundry done
Driving them all to kindergarden
From morning till night
these hands never stopped
thinking at anytime I might drop
cooking three meals a day
mopping and cleaning the house away
These hands also praised the
Lord, never keeping Him at bay
wanting the children to love and obey
Had a great husband to help with all this
it is my good fortune and portion as God plans
to bless and be blessed by these well worn hands.
