From My Hands

for Lexi's Poetry challenge.

From my hands

From my hands
an early breakfast prepared
he has to go to work

From my hands
a door opened
a gentle call towards the son
he also has to start early

From my hands
needles are held and used
to spend some spare time
creating clothing while the rest is still asleep

From my hands
tiny hands are guided
crossing a dangerous street
in order to go to school

From my hands
lunch and dinner are made
dishes washed

From my hands
a gentle touch over the head
as a young child goes to bed

where should a mother be
without the use of her hands?
