Quite a beautiful Haiku; speaks volumes.

Thank you M.L. I am always amazed that I have my Daddy's face, and my grandma's hands.

I too have a short poem about my grandmother's hands written when I first began posting on the Soup over 10 years ago! / M

Aha, now you can tell me this then. How long has Poetry Soup been in operation?

A long-ago memory, but never forgotten apparently.

You are welcome. I remember staring at my grandmother's hands after her death, and being so surprised they were old looking and spotted. Today I look down at the same spotted hands, only on me.
