hands
I look with awe at worn out gnarled hands of a labourer
how well have they have served their master
mesmerised am I by a doctors hands gone rough with formaldehyde
how many lives saved they have
go green do I by matured hands of an elder woman
how many mouths have they satiated
watch with disbelief at hands of young village girls
who finish with alacrity a hundred tasks
smitten by love am I small tender hands
which raise only to touch with love
but.....
swept with pity am I by delicate manicured hands
which know only to look pretty and nothing else

To Make a Difference
What a wonderful sentiment and insight. There are so many people with such wonderful gifts that they lend of themselves to humanity. What a shame not to put forth the effort, not to find your purpose or contribution in life. There is such a difference that just one pair of hands can make. Well written.
