a_mother's_hands
jete i was going through an old journal and found this, my mother has cancer and is not doing very well, so it has a new meaning for me, i hope you all know how much your family, or support group really does for you.

i remember
when i was younger
learning how to walk
i was so excited
that i never thought to
look down and see your hands
waiting just in case i might
stumble

and i remember
a little older
you placed me on your lap
and let me steer the car
i was so perplexed
that i never thought to
look down and see your hands
waiting at the bottom of
the wheel

And i remember
a little older still
learning to ride a bike
i was so terrified
that i never thought to
look and see your hands
waiting just in case i might
fall

and now that i'm
older
i look at your frail hands
and wonder
if either one of us
will ever understand how much
those hands have done
for me

fishawk Terrifying, greedy, smelly things to be avoided and feared. Do not let our hands become like hers. 150422
