Grandma’s hands are worn and weary <br />Wrinkles certainly tell her age <br />As she sits and studies them <br />At this old and tired stage <br /> <br />From a small and toddling baby <br />They caught her before she fell <br />And she fed herself in hunger <br />They have served her very well <br /> <br />Grandma’s hands were used for others <br />Through so many many years <br />They have tended her sick family <br />Holding children through their fears <br /> <br />Combed her hair and washed her body <br />Worked in many tasks through the years <br />Held her handkerchief in sorrow <br />Through unhappiness and tears <br /> <br />She has pressed her hands together <br />As she’s talked to Him at night <br />Yes, Grandma’s hands are such a miracle <br />Now I squeeze and hold them tight!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/grandma-s-hands/
