These Hands

Her hands hold small bowls 
of muted laughter
rising with soft edges
against the sky!

(To My Mother)

‡ She Sounds And Seems Very Beautiful. Very Loving. The Greatest Love, Isn't Within These Hands That Hold, Touch Or Feel; But They Of One's Heart. Beautiful Cynthia, I Love Your Poem. Love, Rachel ‡
