The Hands of a Carpenter
The hands of a farmer
Are stained from the soil.
The hands of a blacksmith
Are calloused from toil.
Hands tell a story
Of every man’s life;
They may tell of riches
Or hard work and strife.
But the hands of the Carpenter
Scarred by a nail
Are the hands we must cling to,
For they never fail.
