Mike Hauser Poet Rhyme

With These Hands

With these hands 
There is so much they can do
As I wave hello and wave goodbye
On this journey passing through

With these hands
I can lift you up
Pull the hurt into my arms
Comfort with a hug

Yet with these hands
I can ball a fist
If anger gets the best of me
So I must be careful with them

With these hands
I can hold your hands
Walk with you in what you go through
Be a helping hand

With these hands
I can work the field
Helping feed the poor in need
Use these hands to heal

Yet with these hands
I can hold you at arms length
They can also be used to abuse
With them I must clearly think

With these hands
I come baring gifts
With palms held wide open
It is what it is

With these hands
I can heal or destroy
With these and others hands
You just never know
