Today, our host at http://www.ethicalela.com for Day 1 of the August Open Write inspires us to write poems about hands. Denise Krebs of California is hosting today’s writing. You can read her full prompt here.
Welcoming Magnolia Mae yesterday, these hands gripped handlebars, holding on for the ride with friends yesterday, these hands swaddled babies, bandaged knees as children grew up yesterday, these hands stitched a quilt for a grandchild I will meet today for today, these hands will build Legos and fairy gardens first, and then….. today, these hands will swaddle a new granddaughter in rosettes and sage so that tomorrow, these hands will be remembered this heart full of love
