| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 10/03/07 at 05:32 PM Immediately in this poem-- we focus on those hands and the image grows stronger as we read. Much life and strength is concentrated in this focus and the vision and embrace of a daughter's hands on her writing tool to create, transmit this grasp of her mother's love and life. |

| Posted by A. Paige White on 05/14/08 at 08:33 PM This poem is as great a joy to read as to read a mother's love in every every battle scar upon her body, starting with stretch marks on her belly that parallel the stretch marks on her heart and to a mother's heart, badges and marks of honor. Beautiful pick for POTD. Thanks for sharing this. |

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 06/05/13 at 04:39 PM Nicely fleshed out tribute here Kristi. And I like the title, with so much strength in a mother's hands, hands in general, what they accomplish in care, love and teaching. |
