Mom's
Hands
©
REENA SHARMA
To
the strongest woman I will ever know.
At
first glance Mom's hands may seem crippled and meek.
She
flinches when you bump them and her grip is quite weak.
But
these hands are a reflection of the woman inside,
although
burdened with limits, still strong with pride.
When
opening a jar seems too great a task,
it's
only after great hesitation that she finally asks.
Don't
let that mislead you for you must understand.
It's
not what they can't do, but rather what they can.
These
hands have the strength to raise a family right,
to
wipe away every tear and hold you real tight.
They
come together each day in prayer,
and
whenever you need them, they're always right there.
So
if these hands don't appear all that tough,
Remember
they're full of tenderness and love
and
for me that's enough.
