Lean strong arms
reach out with
rough work worn hands
to hold and lift her up
like precious glass
from her wheelchair
as she gets back in the car
after our Sunday nights out
My father never
handled her with
so much care
He touches her
as he would
his own mother
if she were still here
And through his eyes
I see precious glass
in ways new and dear

That is a touching poem.

Deeply touching yes, dear Lori!

Just passed yesterday close by a man who spoke softly to his Mother while he helped her out of the wheelchair into the car. His tender voice touched me, he was so patient while she seemed almost unable to co-operate. Such situations touch the heart. Your poem conveys this so beautifully.
