A Shake of the Hand
Feelings flow when hands touch
attraction felt, love or friendship?
Sometimes distraction, used when speaking
hidden from view, what is this action?
A Mother’s call, hold my hand
is it protection or keeping control
A Father’s hand, ruffles your hair
showing his love and care
A shake of a hand, saying hello
another shake, saying cheerio
A girlfriend a boyfriend?
when do you know?
Walking along, hands never letting go
feelings increase as time unfolds
A wedding arrives, greetings galore
shaking hands, some you do not know
The firstborn, trace face and nose
Fingers, an extension of hands well known
Despite your age, hands still hold on
fingers entwine, grip not letting go
Holding the hands of a loved one
In a two-handed grip, neither letting go
The grip then triggers thoughts
both, understanding the hidden content
