My father's hands have seen many years.
They have seen the birth of many children,
Two of his own,
And the departures of many more.
His hands have run over the cool metal of machinery,
Both in times of peace and times of war,
And have remained unscathed.
Markers of one strong, silent, and calm,
His hands have been a reassurance when I was upset,
A reminder that everything will be fine.
Even in sickness, his hands remain soft and strong,
A memory impressed upon the annals of life.
Hidden tears form at the comforting presence within,
Those symbols of strength, love, and determination fused.
These are my father's hands,
And the memory of them will live on forever.
~youkolaguna made a post about how her father's hands impacted her emotionally, and this is my interpretation of that, written for her in memory of her father.
