Homage To My Hands

Theses hands are big hands; They hold an abundance of love and pain- Sunshine and rain They DO NOT meadow in foolishness. These hands are good hands. They DO NOT like to be tarnished; These hands have always been helpful. They go where they want to go; They do what they want to do. These hands are mighty hands. These hands are magic hands. I have known them to smite all iniquity. These hands are not my own, But to whom the ancestors I belong.
