Calloused hands strong yet tender <br />Gently traveling down the limestone <br />Painstaking moments but not willing to surrender <br /> <br />A symbol of heritage and a throne <br /> <br />Enjoyment and family all placed aside <br />A grumbling heart spoke, but silently <br />The commitment…. he must abide <br /> <br />Suddenly a tender inner voice sets his soul free <br /> <br />Your hands create this cross <br />But I hung upon one <br /> <br />Humbled by the Master <br />His lesson’s come............ if only we listen<br /><br />Patricia Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sculptor-3/
