Our Mothers hands
Hand that dried our tears and calmed our fears
Applauded our accomplishments
Hands that gave us courage to fight our most difficult battles
Hands that cared for the elderly in their time of need
How to fold in prayer and ask for forgiveness
Never having to reach out because they were always there
The hands of strength and love that will guide us through the rest of our days
The gentle touch that brought into the world and so much comfort over the years told us it was time to go.
And always know home is where your heart is
