A FATHER’S HANDS

by Nancy

His hands lie still

We grieve
We grieve

Gathered

Each
Loved
Into fuller life

Blessed
For the gift he was

His hands lie still

Still
Offering

Memories
Heart-lessons
A Father’s eternal love

Had you more to give
To do

Live your goodness
In us

For now
Rest

Ready
To stretch out those hands

Dear Father

We will embrace
Again
