These Hands

These hands of mine

Have paid for the deeds

I have done

Every task I\'ve been Appointed

Every job

These hands are hard

Like those of a farmer

Or soft and tender

Like a poet

 

These hands have known

Hatred

Mistrust

Betrayal

These hands have known

Kindness

Comfort

Caring

These hands are my best Friend 

As well as

My worst enemy 

 

These hands of mine

Have known bbloodshed 

They have bled

For the sins of my life 

They have bled for 

The task needing to be done

They are kind hands

They are rough hands

 

These hands of mine belong

To one with a big heart

One who will give you

The shirt off his back

They belong to one

Who can strike with force

Most of the time

They are gentle

However sometimes 

They speak out

 

These hands of mine

Have paid for the deeds

I have ever done

Or all the deeds 

I ever will do
