In My Hands

in my hands

in my hands
gentle and small
wonder and delight
a mingle of smiles and squirms

in my hands
the future rests
tasks to be learned
surprises of nature and mind

in my hands
a bundle of recollections
my daughter's squirming
my son's gentle dreams

in my hands
folded space carved by deep lines
happy scars, dancing aches
fill
my hands
