carefully now raise your hand
somewhere above your waist
not so high as to make me reach, 
not so low as to be out of place

straighten that finger
the small one
now the one at the other end
then unfurl your thumb
the two digits in the middle
stretch out your flesh
and find the extent of your skin

now turn your hand around
face the palm unto the sky
now be steady, try not to shake
the rest of the work is mine

just close your eyes and wait
till the object is in hand
be not concerned with what it is
it is mine to give

just curl in your fingers now
one at a time, nice and slow
and hold it close and loosly now
keep a tight but tender hold

it may slip, dont let it fall
(its fallen far enough to get to you)
it may leak, just plug the hole
your hands i trust more than you

just hold it gently

hold my heart a while
