My Hands
A coil around her finger
To show her I trust her
A coil around her finger
To thank her for my future
A wave that lingers
The instance I leave her
A wave that lingers
Because I know I’ll miss her
A shake to make a friend
And spit in a pact of trust
A shake to my new friend
In a promise to keep my past
A stretch towards them
To ask theirs in a time of need
A stretch towards them
To offer a good deed
A raise to show my knowledge
Or to merely satisfy my curiosity
A raise to share my knowledge
To a class restricted by perplexity
A clutch to my body
When I am feeling impure
A clutch to my body
When I am a little insecure
A wipe to my eye
When sadness arrives
A wipe to my eye
When that sadness dies
A fist in the air
After years of preparing for a career
A fist in the air
To show that hard work brings you here
A lock in his own
To show my care
A lock in his own
To ensure he is there
A diamond shines on mine
To proclaim a genuine love
A diamond shines on mine
To secure it like a glove
They are brought together
To thank Him for His gift
They are brought together
For encouragement to never quit
As I open this new door
Time has strengthened them to endure
As I open this new door
They should forever remain pure
