A Lifetime of Memories


My 97 year old Grandma's aged hands...


Her hands

Hands that have tickled
Hands that have played

Hands that have fed
Hands that have healed

Hands that have served
Hands that have labored


Hands that have comforted
Hands that have suffered

Hands that have sacrificed
Hands that have received

Hands that have loved
Hands that are loved

Thank you for your encouraging words Bonnie, I have never written poetry before.

what an incredibly awesome shot. not just the hands, but the photo in her hands, taking memory of even earlier times.

The last two sentences of your poem are perfect... and the photo really makes you believe it.

Well done!
