Gentle Hands
Her gentle hands hold her newborn baby,
and her heart smiles.
Time flies.
Her gentle hands wash crayon off the walls,
and her heart smiles.
Time flies.
Her gentle hands make a birthday cake for her 10-year-old,
and her heart smiles.
Time flies.
Her gentle hands clutch the steering wheel to drive her
social butterfly places,
and her heart smiles.
Time flies.
Her gentle hands grasp her young princess crying
over boy troubles,
and her heart smiles.
Time flies.
Her gentle hands pack up a box that will be heading to college,
and her heart smiles.
Time flies.
Her gentle hands roll the dice over a game board
as she gets to know her daughter's fiancé,
and her heart smiles.
Time flies.
Her gentle hands hold her newborn granddaughter,
and her heart smiles.
Time flies.
