man walked on the moon the day she was born I held her high to show her the sky's the limit. She came early, anxious to do it all... calisthenics balet Laps of the pool Working for the government : Espionage at eighteen. Oh my fairy princess married in the castle to her scottish lord The sky was the limit and now I finger her picture ,newspapered , and weep. Not because of her flaxen mane Nor the cause she fights seeking help for the lame . Not for her daughter withered in her walking frame. Nor for her baby twins tugging at her train Of thought.... A limitless sky still. I weep at the sight of her hands ....... Pictured there amongst the print clasping tight her responsibilities of beaming love.. Her hands ; Her fingers ; a mother's unvarnished nails .Holding aloft as if to show Limited only by the sky above..... |

Helen, you will most likely never know how I feel about this piece, but you've written my thoughts on how hands tell the whole picture.... I do not yet know why I have a "thing" about hands.... perhaps it is because of the holes.... thank you for this... |
