Michelangelo
I would build you a glorious palace
with ornamental roads and
wondrous sculptures if I could,
but I only have these two clumsy hands
to work with.
They are the best I have to offer you
but these hands will work wonders
if given the chance.
The trouble is, I don't really
know if I should have that chance.
Sometimes you have to do the best with
what you have to work with
and these hands may accidentally destroy
the very thing they are trying to make so
beautiful for you.
