Always the hand
I remember
discipline
love's caress
a wave of acknowledgement
Strong
Firm
Guiding
Directing
Encouraging
Protecting
Possessing
Depending on the owner of the hand
The first hands
always able to envelop mine
The hands of a dad
cradling his only baby girl
Then a series of less important
man hands
never as unconditional
certainly serving a much different purpose
My own hands
miraculous in their achievements
never ceasing to surprise me
with their sensitivity
Fingers
Palms
Knuckles
Wrists
Surprisingly safe
Surprisingly ******
Think about it....
