If you are handling meat <br />You simply must wash your hands. <br />I even wash vegetables <br />Before they go in the pan. <br /> <br />Pilate thought hand washing <br />Would free him from his shame. <br />He should have used blood, <br />For it turned out just the same. <br /> <br />Not all of the hand washing <br />Or the soap found in the world, <br />Can free you from His wrath <br />When hurting His boy or girl. <br /> <br />If folded in prayer <br />And forgiveness you seek, <br />Then the cleansing is real. <br />You will find sweet relief. <br /> <br />Hands are so marvelous <br />When patting one on the back. <br />Don't raise them in anger <br />Or for sure you'll get whacked.<br /><br />Robert Edgar Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/washed-hands/
