Hands

Posted by Sandrine (Cincinnati, United States) on 12 October 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture.

My 97 year old Grandma's aged hands...

Her hands

Hands that have tickled
Hands that have played

Hands that have fed
Hands that have healed

Hands that have served
Hands that have labored

Hands that have comforted
Hands that have suffered

Hands that have sacrificed
Hands that have received

Hands that have loved
Hands that are loved

Thanks for stopping by! I love to hear any of your thoughts...
Merci de votre visite! J'aime entendre toutes pensees...

Exceptional capture of admiration for your grandmother. Her hands tell a story of time. Combined with the old photograph this is a remarkable image.
