These hands These hands - capable of so much
beauty, help, or destruction
no songs or poems can ever touch
the surface of the miraculous power.

These hands- so shamefully idle
from any good occupation.
horrifically ready to spend the while
engaged in mischief, or nothing at all.

These hands have been blessed
by so many talents
put them to work, God, not to rest.
For far too long they have been useless.

Take these hands, use them
fill them with a purpose divine
let someone someday remember
how these hands were truly thine.
