These Hands

These Hands

These hands miss the feel of a Badminton racket
These hands miss the feel of a baseball bat
These hands miss the feel of a basketball
These hands miss the feel of a real camera
These hands miss the feel of black lab fur and a dog leash
These hands miss the feel of an Atari joystick
These hands miss the feel of a record
These hands miss the feel of a cassette tape
These hands miss the feel of pine sap and pine cones
These hands miss the feel of a cement sidewalk
These hands miss the feel of a splitter and wood
These hands miss the feel of their lover's skin
These hands enjoy the feel of a steering wheel
These hands enjoy the feel of little hands in theirs
These hands enjoy the feel of a lawn mower handle
These hands enjoy the feel of water and raindrops
These hands enjoy the feel of the breeze
These hands enjoy the feel of guinea pig and cat fur
These hands enjoy the feel of work being done
These hands are grateful for grip and function
These hands dislike cold weather
These hands dislike hot pans or skillets
These hands dislike animal puke...ewww...
These hands dislike being pinched, smashed, or poked
These hands dislike pressure
These hands are almost 34 years old
They have seen good days and bad
They are Blessings
They are big and strong
These hands are mine
