My Mother's Hands

My Mother's Hands

My Mother had such lovely hands
Whose touch comforted me for years,
Wiped away fever from my brow,
And many childish tears.

My Mother had such gentle hands
Whose touch I remember every day.
I can still feel her tender touch,
Though she has gone away.

But though I cannot hold her hands
Nor feel them on my brow,
I know exactly where they are....
The Father holds them now....
