A grandmother's hands

Are worn and wrinkled 

Usually pale

Ashen and frail 

A grandmother's hands 

Are a loving touch 

Comforting contact 

Pulling out the shadows

And bringing in the light 

A grandmother's hands 

Spoil grandchildren 

With sweets and toys

Then sends them back to their parents 

With sugar highs

And musical trinkets 

A grandmother's hands

Hold an infinite amount

Of love

And chocolate 

A grandmother's hands 

Can be warmed 

By thick gloves 

Or a steaming cup 

Of coffee

On a cold winters day 

A grandmother's hands 

Are hard working 

Resilient and strong

Though they may not 

Look it 

A grandmother's hands

Are some of the most 

Powerful things 

In the world

After all 

A grandmother's hands 

Are experienced 

At caring gestures 

And warm hugs

A grandmother's hands

Play with children 

On the living room floor

And cook noodles 

For dinner every night 

Because it's the

Grandchild's favorite 

A grandmother's hands

Bring chocolate for breakfast 

Served on a tray

So the child needn't

Get out of bed 

A grandmother's hands 

Surround 

Not only your body

But your heart
