Free verse: Hamdalah for my hands

My hands
I'm so happy i have hands
I'm so, so grateful i am given hands
I can do so many things with my hands.

I can eat with my hands,
I can do so many things with my hands

I can clean with my hands
I can cook with my hands
I can care for others with my hands in so many ways
My hands and arms can offer comfort
My fingers can turn the page of a book
They can assist me to learn and become a better person,
My hands, arms, fingers, are very, very useful
I do so many things with these great gifts everyday

Tools are made to make life easier.
It is funny that more often than not,
Life is made "somewhat harder"
Because of these tools
People fret and give up
People become sad and feel deprived
People feel all sorts of negative feelings
To get money to buy them, to use them,
They are made to forget that,
their HANDS can also do the same job!

Not with the innovation of all tools, but some tools.

I like tools.. Some make life easy
But some make life "hard" to pay for
Because those tools that replace hands
Are so expensive (some are).

No spoon? I'll eat with my hands
No massager? I'll massage with my hands
No machine? I'll check for lumps with my hands
No pump? I'll express with my hands
No MO? I'll receive the baby with my hands

Oh my hands are very useful!!!

Hamdalah for my hands :)

Oh well,
Tools are not all unnecessary,
My hands cannot replace a bowl,
Or a knife or a wheel or a light,
I need tools in life, no doubt
But when i don't or can't have them,
Sometimes all i need is right here:
The most inexpensive priceless gift of all:
My hands!
