My hands
have done so much.

They have brought
food to my mouth.

They have built
tiny castles of sticks and rocks.

They have written
the alphabet and love letters.

They have held on
to each other when I was quiet.

They have swung
through the air when I was loud.

They have felt
tears upon my cheeks.

They have covered
up my laughter and regrets.

They have touched
so many things, so many souls.

Left and Right,
I kiss you goodnight.
