As you go through life from stage to stage,
Your features and hands reflect your age.
Did you work on a farm,
Did your hands till the earth,
Did you run a machine,
Were you a lady by birth.
Were you a scholar of sorts,
Did you gain your strength in sports?
Life teaches you to understand,
The importance of lending a “Helping Hand”
To other people in need.
Be the hand young or old,
It’s a beautiful hand indeed!
