My Two Hands-Sequel to A Grandmothers Hands

A poem by Maddie J-3 | 3/22/2008

Looking down
At my hands
Wonder were
the time has gone

It seemed like yesterday
These two hands
Were small and helpless
A baby’s hands

I will never forget
When these two hands
Were learning to write
A little girl’s hands

I will always remember
When these two hands
Grasped hold of another
A wife’s hands

Memories that will endure
With these two hands
That held my children
A mothers hands

Such tender times
With these two hands
That hugged my grandchildren
A grandmother’s hands

These two hands,
Many things have passed
Are still used for worship
They are God’s hands

Lovely Maddie! And a great companion/sequel piece :)

Thank you VERY much for the comment and for giving me the idea! You inspired me to look at things in such a different way, I have gone through every piece that I have written and thought about the view that I portrayed in it. Thank you so much!
Still learning,
Maddie J-3

Whoa, keep going! This is a neat sequel, I like the idea of a sequel to a poem. You're certainly progressing as a writer, Maddie, especially in poems. GREAT JOB!!
