Her Hand
I brush back the thinning hair
studying her face.
Deep lines wrinkle as she smiles back
her watery blue eyes
still bright and beautiful.
I still lose myself in them.
I take her small hand in mine
spotted and calloused with countless tasks
a hand that matches mine.
I asked for this hand in marriage
the hand that raised our children
the hand that holds my life in it.
I lowered my lips to that hand
bestowing a tender kiss.
I whispered in her ear
to tell her how much
I will always adore that hand.

I enjoyed that thank you! What’s really sad is Pluto’s status as a planet, non-planet, then planet. Lol!
