Fingers

Hands, They pick you up when you're on the ground and they push you away from speeding cars They hold you back from doing stupid things and they hold your waist when you are slow dancing Shoulders, They're right at your height so when you need a place to cry you just lay your head down Arms, they lift you up in the air so you can feel like you are flying and when you miss them holding you, you can run into them, like you thought they were gone forever. Elbows, When you're bored they give you a wenus to rub, and name they nudge you when you are doing something wrong and when someone is coming Or when the cutest boy in school is looking at you. Fingers, they are dead give away when you are nervous because they fiddle way too much and they get you into trouble when you are texting in class But when you can point out exactly what you want fingers can be a good thing and when you are picking the right person to hold their hand cry on their shoulder be held in their arms and rub and name their wenus... fingers are the perfect tool.
