HIS BROTHERS HANDS
He’s often marveled at this brother’s hands…and had a hard time waiting
to see the wondrous works of art his brother’s hands would be creating.
His brother was a master carpenter who, ever since their childhood
had the ability to discover and release the beauty in the wood.
His brother’s mind would do the creating…come up with the detailed plans…
then gladly cede construction to the skill in his brother’s hands.
But…over the years arthritis invaded his brother’s hands…and his ability for multitasking
making it difficult for his brother’s hands to do what his brother’s mind was asking.
So…his brother decided to have surgery on his hands…hopefully to get back…
some of the abilities…the dexterity…his once skilled hands now lacked.
His brother asked if he’d accompany him…to see his surgery through…
and, if he had the time, to stay a day or two.
His brother said he’d be there…thinking it’d be sweet…
to stay until his brother…and his hands…were back upon their feet.
For brothers have a special bond…
built in childhood that throughout life they understand….
Whenever one brother needs it…
his brother be there to lend a helping hand.
