M.E.M.

Life

The hands of an artist,

hold the paint brush,

Painting the past

for the future.

 

The hands of a soldier,

holds the rifle,

Protect us,

so we don\'t have to.

 

The hands of a boxer,

Clenched into fists,

ready for the fight,

Throwing punches, then an upper cut.

 

The hands of a writer,

hold the pencil,

Support the head,

elbow on knee.

 

The hands of a baker,

they kneed and create.

Shape and flip the dough.

 

The hands of a mechanic,

Dirty,

covered with grease.

Repair and fix vehicles.

 

But the hands of a friend.

They\'re from the past for the future,

Ready to protect and fight for you,

To support in a time of need,

Shape and flip your life,

They aren\'t afraid to get their hands dirty,

Help you up, when times get rough.

 

The hands tell a story,

What is yours?
