These old hands
have seen a lot of miles
touched many smiles
along the way

clasped
tightley together
as they pray
to see
yet another day

Callused and worn
wrinkled from age

each line tells a story
if your willing
to turn the page

The next time
You look upon
These old hands

I hope
you will remember
those lines
tell a story
not
of just work
and toil
but
of glory

I cant help
but
hear
a sweet song
of days gone bye

as those old hands
that try

to tie
a knot of hope
for us all
