Clasping Hands

Categories: Relationships

Clasping hands use the sense of touch
And without words convey so much

Hands clasped in greeting
Accompany smiles on meeting

Hands clasped in parting
Transmit sadness when departing

Hands clasped in fellowship
Depict kindness and friendship

Hands clasped in love that say
“I am with you come what may.”

Hands clasped in promise too
Say “I’m always here for you.”

Yet all human hand clasps have to let go
But God’s mighty hand is eternally so.
