weathered hands

(Ray and Little Mr. 6/2010)

There is a rich beauty in a mans weathered hands.

These are working hands that build and fix.

They are strong and safe.

They are rough and scarred.

For my children;

his hands will guide and lead, soothe and protect.

I am forever grateful for all the years that they

have so lovingly held my heart.

Happy we. grateful me.
