what can i do
what can my hands do
what can i do
i be grateful that i have them
these things that make up 10 finger
of great progress what can you do when your hand are taken away from you
then we ask god why but there is no answer then but he'll be right on time take bullet
but we are not bullet proof flash of light whats next life of death will i rest with no awakening
or spill a spatter of blood what can i do i ask myself why
but this isnt the end it is a beganing no stressing the gift of life is such a blessing
my hands what can they do
they talk for me
write for me
comfort me with a blanket and do so much more
my hands can do so much many what can you do when things are taken away from you

I loved how you wrote about hands, especially in the lines "my hands what can they do / they talk for me" because poets truly use their hands to write down, and essentially speak, their thoughts and beliefs. Great poem!
