Hands

Hands

Hands are used to walk with a child.
They are so innocent and mild.
They are used to help a baby crawl.
A girl uses them to hold her doll.

Our hands are used to hug a loved one,
To play ball or something else that's fun. 
They are used to wipe away a tear.
They are used to sign when you can't hear.

Hands are used to write a special note.
They are used to pet a cat or goat.
Hands are used to make a meal you like.
They are used to help you ride a bike.

Hands are used to rake leaves, plant a seed.
Kids use their hands to color or read.
Females use their hands to crochet or knit.
Baseball players wear a glove or mitt.

The Son's hands - nailed to the cross I know.
Females water flowers so they'll grow.
Hands are used to wash dishes and clothes.
They are used to hold a pretty rose.
