His Hands

What's in a hand
A hand in a man
To make my solid heart flutter

What of a hand
A hand in a man
To make my soul turn to butter

For a working man
His hands tell a story
Of what he's done and where he's been

Hands of a guitarist
Flexible and long
Made exactly for plucking a string

For a farmer they
Are hard and calloused
From years of the farm's heavy load

A Marine's hand solid
Like a rock, so strong
Turn soft to the touch of my own
