One Hand Clapping Poem by Jack R. Quinn

You can make the sound of two hands clapping.
Now what is the sound of one hand clapping?
The sound of one hand clapping is:
A firm grip of friendship.
A pat of comfort.
The caress of love and caring.
The wave of greeting and goodbye.
A nervous drumming.
A hand wiping away tears of remorse and happiness.
A helping grasp.
A blessing of the newborn, a prayer for the dead.
An act of giving.
A feeling where life is.
