they are so very... small and delicate plump and oh so pink these little hands with tiny nails that rest curled upon your breast I watch themΒ Β unfurl like butterfly wings
and wonder at their beauty it wiil be a while before they are useful to you at present they are just object of amazement
oh, but the newness of them, is beguiling to both me and you.
I have just lost (or should that be found) the better part of an afternoon watching my friends first grandchild watch her hands, as babies do. I feel hopeful once again ....
