My Child's Hands

1:00 AM |

Posted by Karen

My child's hands,

So delicate and fair.

It doesn't matter

If they aren't a matching pair.

Her fingers are gentle

As they brush my cheek

To leave the imprint

Of a kiss so sweet.

My child's hands

Reach out to greet

With only a trace of shyness

To those she meets.

A crooked pinky

She's not aware

She doesn't hesitate

To wave in the air.

My child's hands

So small in mine.

As we walk together

Our steps keeping time.

Her fingers, smooth as silk,

Like fragile flower petals,

Rests softly in my hand.

So tender, sweet and gentle.

My Daughter's hands,

Precious gift given to me,

To care for, to cherish

A treasure to my heart will forever be.
