Her hands.....

This is a picture Jess took of my Mamaw's hands.

She used to lay on the couch and sleep with her hands on her chest.

She passed away in 2011, just a few months shy of her 100th birthday.

Oh, how I loved that woman and still miss her so much....

but I truly BELIEVE I'll get to see her again one day!!!

her hands had known

and touched and felt

the best and the worst

that life had to offer

they'd held a newborn

they'd kneaded bread

they'd mended sweaters

they'd caressed her man

felt a rose petal

petted a cat

soothed a boo boo

prayed to God

her hands had seen

their share of toil

and despair

triumph and joy

sorrow and love

her hands had

served God
