Those Two Hands Poem by Troy Brown

Those Two Hands

Rating: 5.0


My mother grew up in an old country town
Working hard in every little way
The time we spent and the joys she shared
Are the most vivid memories today

She was my teacher, throughout my life
Though her formal education was brief
If it weren’t for her act of decisive devotion
What would I today achieve?

It mattered not, what people have said
Of the chores she did all day
She worked honestly, as a nonresident maid
For bills she had to pay

I would never forget, those two hands
For me, the scares they bear
You have the most remarkable hands in the world
No other hands to yours compare

My mother dear, Oh my mother dear
Time on earth could never repay
You have been the undisputed champion of my life
And again I, “Thank you” say.
