her hands had known
and touched and felt
the best and the worst
that life had to offer
they'd held a newborn
they'd kneaded bread
they'd mended sweaters
they'd caressed her man
felt a rose petal
petted a cat
soothed a boo boo
prayed to God
her hands had seen
their share of toil
and despair
triumph and joy
sorrow and love
her hands had
served God
