These hands I have
Feel and touch
They pick, they point
They caress, they clutch

With five fingers each
They grip, they count
They know how to tickle

They know how to rub
To help ease the pains
Chiroporacting the joints
Racing blood through veins

These hands of mine
Wiped your eyes
The tears you cried
When my hands were tied

Your loneliness that day
Needed my arms to help hug it away
