My Hands ....

My hands as most everyone who has them ,are very valuable to me .they have been able to provide a living for my family ,enabled me to express myself musically in a way my voice can't .They have been a source of giving pleasure ,and pain.they have been used to convey an idea and help give more meaning to words that are spoken .They have been used to defend myself and give a hearty pounding to those that have crossed me .over the last couple of days i have noticed that more aches and pains come regularly to my hands when i work .i know time is passing along and my hands though still nimble are not as young and full of stamina as they once were . I have to take little breaks when performing some task because they become pained. but above all i am thankful for the hands God has given me .They are a blessing and a joy to have and he has been able to use them to bless and touch others . They will never be hand model material but i enjoy using them more than i do looking at them ...
