If you think my hands are full...

They are.

I have handfuls of 

Crumbs.

Dust.

Grime.

Unorganized closets.

Toys.

Trinkets.

Treasures.

Mountains of dishes.

Clean Laundry.

Dirty Laundry.

Bills.

Meals to prepare.

Groceries.

Snacks.

Juice.

Chocolate milk.

Odors of pee.

And Spit up.

Diapers.

Pull-ups.

Appointments.

Bottles.

Favorite Blankets.

School Route.

School Child's Homework.

If you think my hands are full...

they are.

I have handfuls of

tantrums.

tears.

squabbles.

arguing.

Back talk.

Complaints.

Broken little hearts.

Hurt little feelings.

Nightmares.

Fevers.

Colds.

Flues.
Leg aches.

Night duty.

If you think my hands are full...

They are.

I have handfuls of

Overwhelming feelings.

Tears.
Worries.
Doubts.
Self doubts.
Fears.
Extra fat tissue.
Scars.
Loose skin.
Imperfections.
Insecurities...
Anger.
Sadness...
Hurt feelings.
Broken heart...

If you think my hands are full...
They are.
I have handfuls of
Smooth, soft skin.
Long gorgeous hair.
Large, beautiful, earnest eyes.
Joyful laughter.
Gleeful giggles.
Happy Shrieks.
Small feet with
Ten little toes.
Grimy little hands with
Five small fingers.
Sloppy kisses.
Heartfelt hugs.
Sweetness all around.
Three little people
With mighty big dreams.



If you think my hands are full...
They are.
But you should see my heart...
Light.
And Life.
Gods only son.
The gift of salvation.
Forgiveness.
Hope.
Joy.
 Peace.
And Love.
So much love.
