These are my hands Through these hands I have come to see the world. These hands have measured the growth of life and documented the stalling of time. They guide my ears to places where I hear The watch-like beat of tiny hearts. My hands have felt the hard bony framework of passages and the softness of muscles Which will bulge like petals of a rose. My hands have opened windows to the energy Of the souls of those I have touched. They have felt the frigid rigidity Of steel ins
