Hands: Not Useless

You may think that hands are useless,

That they can’t do the impossible things,
Or even the simplest tasks.
So what’s the point of having hands?

Well, I will tell you,
That hands can lead to the greatest discoveries,
Or even to the smallest successes,
Of our daily lives.

They flow across a piece of paper.
They awaken a world unknown to humankind.
They have the soul of a lover,
And a feeling of love is transported to others,
With one single touch.

So, to think hands as useless,
Is to think less of ourselves as human beings.
For our hands define who we are,
​
And who we are meant to be.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Carson Yenchar is a senior at Ionia High School. She loves to write, read, put on theatre productions, and hang out with her quirky friends. She wants to be a writer when she grows up, and is not very good with talking. Thank goodness writing comes in handy because without creativity and wonder, the world would be a less interesting place.
