"Hand and Foot"


Edna Abrams Christmas 2010

From the first morning bell, I am your hands and feet.

Fatigue may dog my steps, but I don’t miss a beat.

Rigid routine protects you through the endless day.

Boredom entices you to see another way.

On long days I cringe to hear one more request.

My poor hands ache and sore feet scream, “Give me a rest!”

Good days mean we venture out to eat or to shop.

An hour’s your limit before you droop and drop.

I wait on you hand and foot out of love and care.

I treasure all these special days that we now share.
