THE HAND

Behold the hand
The mythical hand
The hand the blends
light and colour betwixt
finger and tip point
The hand that confuses
that entertains and contains
that teaches and delights

Behold the hand
The mighty hand
The hand that protects
Holding safe and near
The beloved the weak
The hand that builds
Strong and true long
Lasting comfort home

Behold the hand
The nimble hand
The hand that creates
Crafts and arts for
Function for beauty
The hand that makes
Easier daily living
Makes it a blessing

Beware the hand
The cruel hand
The hand that clinches
Tightens hard and mean

THE HAND

The uncaring hand
Unloving and mad
Handing out punishment
With a fast foolish fist
