A Hand In The Dark

When I think of the domestic violence and the other forms of violence that hands do, it is hard to believe that these same hands can do so many other things that are good. I know of doctors who betray the trust of patients and assault them. I know of family friends and unfortunately family members who have use their hand to bring pain to the vulnerable. It hurts me deeply to know of the pain that dark hands cause

A Hand In The Dark

A helping hand from a friend

Hands that applaud when presentations end

A gift delivered with a generous hand

No malady between us so we shake to understand

Dangers ahead so a hand is held erect

I see hands gesture to signal when people forget

No more thank you and hands politely say no

Traffic cops use their hands to tell us come or go

Hands can caress and the finger tips detect

Every fold, orifice, things dry, things wet

Don’t have two to clap, well pat your chest

And all will know your support is like all the rest

Regardless to all the good, hands can do evils too

Keep your hands from causing pain from what they do
