Ode to Hands

They create, they destroy
They can comfort a crying child
They can give them a new toy
They can wipe the tears away
.
They create, they destroy
They can hurt another human
They can be guilty of a greater ploy
They can twist, punch, slap, pinch
.
They create, they destroy
They can fix things again
They can make food that you enjoy
They can play your favorite movie on repeat
.
They create, they destroy
They can dictate who you are
They can bring misery or joy
They give you away from the very start
.
