These Hands

Come to me, these hands are warm

Warmer than a fur coat,

You will not shiver in the cold.

 

These hands will take care of you

Cook for you

Clean for you

Wash your hair.

 

These hands will hold you when you long to be held

To be touched

To be protected.

 

These hands will hold yours,

Guide you to cross – roads

These hands will help you to the right path.

 

These hands will paint a picture of you

Serve you water from a clay pot

Pick fruits for you.

 

These hands will neither for-sake you

Nor leave you in desolation

Believe in these hands, for they are warm

Come, come to me…
