Your Hands

Your hands do a lot of things.
Pick up and put down stuff. Manipulate tools to build or fix something.
Wipe away a child's tear.
Rub the dog's belly.
Your hands can do all this, and more!
They can clap when you're excited, or get clenched when you're mad.
They know how to scratch an itch, or pluck the strings of a guitar.
Your hands help you throughout the day.
So shouldn't you be nice to them whenever you can?
Wash away the mud after working in the garden.
Pluck a splinter out if you get one.
Give your hands some lotion when they get dried out by work or weather.
Let them rest when they're tired.
Your hands are always there for you, and so you should always be there for them too.
