With These Hands

Her hands held me gently
 To keep me safe from the storm
No, I never be afraid of the rain to fall
Her soft gentle hands cap me with her love.

With these hands I wore my wings
To fly away all the sorrow and pain
And gently touch to rub away the hurt
That simply melts away in the wind

Her soft little fingers moves slowly to my face
To dry my tears that fell a hundred times
 Her hands were often to comfort the hurts
And yet didn’t always show

With these hands I feel love more than hope
And showed me the beauty of life
To sheltered  me through the rains 
With these hands I was live again.
