“…no danger in her warm hands…”…my poem
whisper in gentling words…
Learning
She was happily proud
to show me the new chicks,
her loving hands firmly full
of the downy creatures,
she taught me how
to gently stroke them,
my hand, suddenly,
it seemed too hard
for touching,
I stretched one finger
to the tiny heads,
I wondered how those peeps felt
in that tiny moment
of such awful risk
that they couldn’t imagine,
I wanted to whisper,
in gentling words,
that there is no danger
in her warm hands
or my careful caress.
