Feelings flow when hands touch
attraction felt, love or friendship
Sometimes distraction, used when speaking
hidden from view, what is this action?
A Mothers call, hold my hand
is it protection or keeping control
A Fathers hand ruffles your hair
showing his love and care
A shake of a hand when saying hello
another shake when saying cheerio
A girlfriend a boyfriend
When do you know?
Walking along, hands never letting go
feelings increase as time unfold
A wedding arrives, greetings galore
shaking hands with some you do not know
The first born, trace face and nose
fingers an extension of hands well known
Despite your age hands still hold on
fingers entwine, grip not letting go
Holding the hands of a loved one
a two-handed grip, neither letting go
the grip then triggers thoughts
both understand the hidden content
