These are the hands you loved,
In whose grip content to be
You were, forsaking all else.
Tenderly loving, yet strong;
They guided you through life's throng.
Nurtured you all the day long,
Soothed many a fevered brow,
Calmed many a fretful nerve,
Wiped away many a tear -
Turned your sadness into song.
Shaped what you are now.
Through the darkness or the light,
Like angel wings ever poised;
Aged, still for you they live.
Kay, we all dearly missed you already and you have only been gone half a day
