You are the Image of Blessed Hands

​Blessed Hands
 
We are the image of blessed hands.
The universe with its millions of stars.
Planets, moons and nebulas from afar,
We come from blessed hands.
 
There are years of intense labor.
Final exams, passing grades and diplomas,
Found jobs, hard work, and unemployment.
But these gains and losses don't change the fact, 
We are the image of blessed hands. 
 
The water fall of children’s tears.
First steps.
The sweet sound of first words.
Of soccer games, ballet recitals, movie nights, and leaving years.
Are the hopes of images made by blessed hands.
 
Blessed hands will bring peace to your home,
Establish love as the building block of relationships.
Realize the one who challenges you,
Is the one you hold most dear.
 
You are confident in the decisions you make,
And scared about the promises you will have to break.
Your smile is the image of daybreak,
Sunrising over the love you create.
 
But all of these come from blessed hands.
We are the image of blessed hands,
Whose lives are planted by the rivers of life.
 
We and all that we do are the products of blessed hands.
Hands that formed us in the belly of our mama’s womb.
Hands that laced our heads with every single hair.
We are the image of blessed hands.
 
Our journeys are shadow and light,
And on this road we will continue to be…
Undoubtedly, powerfully
Faithfully, lovingly and respectably…
 
The image of Blessed Hands.
