Comments : These hands of mine

    by Jim McMillen the man within

    Though I have never seen these hands I can proudly say I know their owner well .
    They have deeply and tenderly touched my heart with every given opportunity, through the sincerity of his every expression.

    What a heart touching piece.

    These hands have loved my wife like few women have known
    Hard and course they may be, but capable of the most gentle touch

    Some don't know how powerful a touch can be. The touch of a hand can lend support, comfort, Can speak without a word, the human touch can say I love you , things will be Ok, The touch of a hand can say hello, and goodbye. The hands are capable of so much. Creating, working, loving and praying.

    These are the very hands that have cared for and nurtured my family
    Why worry about past deeds that were done
    Look at the beauty they have created
    They have the ability to put my thoughts to paper
    In the past they would have knocked you down
    My friend now they will lift you up in body and in spirit
    These are skilled hands with finesse known only to a few

    What a wonderful write.
    Great job!
    Take Care

    I always found the rough hands of a man were very sexy . A working man is to be respected, and cherished. The heart of a poet and the hands of a working man. what a great combo. Great poem rather you were venting or not .

    Your write sort goes along with the old adage, don't judge a book by its cover. When I see someone with hands like yours, I think how very hard they have worked in their life and yet how very soft their touch is. They are the people you normally can count on to help when needed.

    Grant,

    You are about as real as a man can get.
    A fine specimen and I have this feeling your hands have indeed performed miracles:)
    I hope and think your wife adores both you and your hands. You deserve no less:)
    I love the poem, you have such a strong voice in it:)

    A huge hug,

    5/5 Ingrid
