So soft and loving, Your hands on my face I felt special and warm I knew you cared So deft and strong The way you kneaded dough I learned at your hands To feed those I love With your hand in mine I always felt brave I could conquer any thing A little squeeze was all it took My hands on your face Gentle and loving I hope you felt special and warm I hope you felt how much I cared Your trembling hands Would spill your food So I fed you with the same Hands that prepared your meal Your hand in mine, I was still afraid You couldn't give me that little squeeze So trembling, I held tightly Til my hands had to set you free

Loving Hands
So soft and loving, Your hands on my face I felt special and warm I knew you cared So deft and strong The way you kneaded dough I learned at your hands To feed those I love With your hand in mine I always felt brave I could conquer any thing A little squeeze was all it took My hands on your face Gentle and loving I hope you felt special and warm I hope you felt how much I cared Your trembling hands Would spill your food So I fed you with the same Hands that prepared your meal Your hand in mine, I was still afraid You couldn't give me that little squeeze So trembling, I held tightly Til my hands had to set you free
For my mother, whose hands I'll always remember
