Jul 2017
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 ....
