Hands


Coarse hands,

Dirt under the nails from years of hard work kind of hands.

Strong hands,

Pick you up off the ground kind of hands.

Dark hands,

All day in the hot sun kind of hands.

Warm hands,

Gloveless in the winter kind of hands.

Comforting hands,

Squeeze for encouragement kind of hands.

Faithful hands,

Gold band on his ring finger kind of hands.

Careful hands,

Picking broken glass off the floor kind of hands.

Gentle hands,

Guide on the small of your back kind of hands.

Sacrificial hands,

Scars on the palms kind of hands.
