I watched your hands and they would not rest

they had a plan and they were ready for the test

and you hoped they would convey what words couldn’t say

your hands were definitely speaking

they knew hard work and they had endured pain

And the song they were singing had a familiar refrain

“ I am ready to bend and willing to strain…..but I need to know that this isn’t a game……what I don’t know I’m willing to learn …..but are you willing to teach and not demean….because if not I’ll let go and you can keep it………your dream…..I’ll let go and you can keep it…..your dream”
