When a woman first becomes a mother, her hands begin a job...... which will carry her through a lifetime. Soft and young, they're perfect for caressing, dressing and undressing, playing patty-cake, powdering bottoms, and the many other tasks which she so blissfully embraces. As she grows into motherhood the tasks multiply. Willingly, her hands turn the pages of your favorite books, tie your laces, test your bath water, apply bandaids to your cuts & scrapes, wipe your tears, wash away the fingerprints that mark your path, and steady you...as you begin to make your way through life. Then, years later, when you're really on the run, those hands pick up your dirty socks, iron your clothes, cook for you, jot down your phone messages, and clean up after you...time and time again. They're beginning to show their age. During the teenage years, they turn down the stereo, relinquish the car keys, hand over untold amounts of money, close your bedroom door when the mess becomes unbearable...loosen their grasp, and pray...they do a lot of that. Finally, when a mother's children are all grown up, her hands get a little rest. She has time to look at them now, and she's...... caught off-guard when she sees just how much they have changed. Still, she manages a smile, for she knows that those hands have done a lot of wonderful things. They're a Mother's Hands.. altered, perhaps, with the passage of time...but beautiful just the same.
