A Man's Hand

A Man's Hand
                 Is character and strength
                      embedded in flesh.
                   Powerful fingers ignites
                        man's demeanor
                     and Oh how powerful 
                          they become
                           
                           A Man's Hand
                         scripted the bible  
                        fought for survival
                    building foundations for you
                       and let us not forget
                         they gave us light 
                     to brighten up our nights
                       
                           A Man's hand
                         is like Gentle Ben
                         big on the outside
                        loving on the inside 

                           A Man's Hand
                          is unrelenting!!!

Hello Yolanda!! Another wonderfully structured Rhyme write here. This type of first verse repetition for each stanza is both an interesting and effective technique in articulating the message of your poem!! Very Well-Done!! A "7"!! And, by the way, a big welcome from me to you for joining Poetry Soup!! I noticed that you just got started this month. Please feel free to read any of my poems as you may choose to do so. And I'll be happy to read yours as well. Cheers and Best Wishes, Gary
