Hands

These hands mend minds and massage maimed muscles These hands protect the powerless providing strength to suffering souls These hands rarely rest, they’d rather Save sinners souls from flinty fires Carry cold welcoming waters toward the thirsty Fetch food for famished fellows These hands are always here
