A Carpenters Hands

Splinters in his hands The thorns of his profession Wait to be removed A dream comes to life Under his hands it takes shape Satisfaction reigns He creates beauty Wood yields to his artistry A carpenter’s hands… Eileen Manassian Ghali

Oh....my husband and my taste in furniture differs SO SO much...He likes modern...I like old...I love antiques...and I LOVE things made of wood. Ah...so so beautiful. I'm still dreaming of a wooden four poster bed, and lacy curtains he promised me when we got married....I'm losing hope! Thanks for the visit, my sweet!
