Unsung Hands
Jul 12, 2005
Your life she said was planted like a sapling.On good ground carefully prepared.
An investment in something tender and sna-
ppable carefully tended because of
an understanding of its potential-
See?
Protected and nurtured you didn?t have to learn
to grow tall and strong and healthy.
You just did.
Not knowing that being allowed to be
all that you are is a luxury.
Not knowing that every day that you are You
is a miracle.
A tree doesn?t know to thank the sun or the rain for its proud height
and the dancing shadows of its leaves.
Straight and crowned and giving and like a tree you stand.
Deep-rooted and rising unknowing and owing
So Much
To the ground beneath your feet, the wide spaces above your head and-
so many unsung hands.
