I love your hands
So beautiful
So strong
The way your fingers dance
upon the fretboard
as you play a song
The tenderness in your fingers
as they caress my cheek
something you always do
before drifting off to sleep
The warmth
of your hand
as I take yours in mine
As we stroll through the bush
birds singing
the weather fine
How gentle they are
As you hold
our grandbaby in your arms
Nurturing
full of love
and always so calm
Playing the guitar
made your hands strong
I love their beautiful shape
your loving fingers long
Never was into hands until I met my husband

You always ask how  I am,
I’m fine, I’m okay.
Do you really want to know about my mutilated story.

Above it all
I have no shame
I am who I am
I take the blame

This is me
Who I’m meant to be
If you didn’t like it
Then don’t acknowledge me

I will not change who I am
I am strong
I am humble
I am me

Take me or leave me
If you please
I will not change
This is me

I am kind
I am beautiful
I am independent
As I can be

For if you love me
Then you will see
I am who I’m meant to be
Be my friend
If you so choice to be...

When my mother dies

I'll get a tattoo
not in memory of her
but in memory of her
hatred for tattoos

           I don't know

what the tattoo will be
I'll decide when I get to the parlor
what it is isn't the point
the point is

          how I'll live

will be up to me.
I'm not sure how I'll feel
but I do know I'll have the freedom
to chose who I'll be


          without her.
