Mother's Hands
July 19, 1934
I held her hands in mine last night So very thin and worn And they held mine just as tightly As the day that I was born. Those gentle and expressive hands Etched by work and care Have folded o'er my bedside many times in humble prayer. They've washed for me; they've fed me And they've helped me to become who I am There's something of the Lord, himself In every mother's hand.
