Looking down, at these hands
hands that can sew, stitch together
the
bits of thread, the scraps of cloth,
to make clothes for them
Looking down, at these hands
a way for me to serve, to minister
to be the love of Christ for them
doing what I can
Looking down, at these hands
old, arthritic, but hands
that can, in my small way,
reach out to the last, the least
Looking down, at these hands
picking up my needle, the threads,
the fabric, to make a difference
for the poor, in my town, doing my little part
to spread, to share, the love of God
