Hands

In no applause did I find them

Hung by my sides or laid in bed

Holding food or steepled

Patted, pointing, or reaching

Kept still or pressed to type keys

But a glimpse

Not full sight till the challenge

In the stings and scrapes

Raked by scars or wet with blood

I saw my hands.

 

By J.W.H. Hobbs.

 

Have a good week.
