Here’s an ode to my hands

They hold my future

My hands hold my actions

And actions speak louder than words

So ode to my hands

They can care for others

My hands can hold the cure

Or simply reach out for a comforting hug

I’m always up for giving a helping hand

Ode to my hands

They can create

My hands help me let out my emotions

They can inspire others

Whether it’s through art or writing

Even by writing a poem like this one

Ode to my hands

For creating this.
