In the Hands of One Another
We rise not solely by our own, But by the seeds of grace we've sown— In helping hands and kind replies, In weary smiles and tear-wiped eyes. No throne outshines a servant’s grace, Who bends to lift the lowly place. Their crown is forged in quiet deeds, In tending wounds, in meeting needs. The measure of a soul is told Not by the wealth...

The smeary fingers, Left unwashed. Leave prints, All over the gloss. On bright metal handles, Drawers semi closed. Up and down walls, Even on a nose. Momma said, "Wash your hands! ...

Unseen Hands
They saw the shell, but not the spark, They heard my voice, but missed the mark. They stitched their doubts into my skin, Wrote me off before I'd begin. They said, "Not ready," whispered, "No," As if my roots could never grow. As if the dreams I dared to hold Were simply too untamed, too bold. Yet hands they never thought could build, Are...

Hands That Heal
With steady hands and hearts that care, A doctor walks where few would dare. In silence they listen, in chaos they stand, Mending the body with a gentle hand. Through sleepless nights and endless calls, They rise above, no matter the falls. The scalpel’s edge, the patient’s plea, They carry it all, with quiet dignity. In every life saved, in every soul healed, A...

Premium Member TRUMP'S HANDS WIELD THE POWER
Soft and smooth, freshly manicured with No trace left behind of struggle or woe; Hard to gauge the multitude of daily trials Or the enormous good and success bestowed. He’s not afraid to let harsh enemies see his strength. Strong and firm, his grasp telegraphs immaculate powers, His steeled convictions and unyielding determination, And the hell that might rain down in furious...

The Space Between Hands
The Space Between Hands Always left alone in the corner of the room, Often wondering if something’s missing in the gloom. Head down, tears falling — can’t stop the flow, Sobbing in silence, hoping no one will know. Never reaching the end with someone in stride, Letting go halfway, with no goodbye implied. Then surrender comes, with the whisper, “Go ahead?” But “why?”...
