Hands

\"Work with your hands.\"

(I heard him say)

You\'ll have more than enough: bless away...

 

Give no thought for tomorrow: who knows?

Come what may.

 

So I followed the easy path: the life; the truth; the way.

 

Callused hands; still not feeble. 

 

Scared left arm; survive the needle. 

 

Now grey; nothing\'s wrong. 

 

Now these hands, have a second job...

 

One that gives: pure delight. 

 

(And keeps him tapping, deep into the night)

 

Hands pay the bills; Hands she\'ll be right...

 

Snookered? Not unaided. 

 

I am up; for the fight.
