Helping Hands
Look at your hands.
What can they do?
They can help brother
Tie his shoe,
Or help little sister
Comb her hair,
Or even help Mother
Dust the chair.
See Mother's hands.
What do they do?
They clean and cook
And mend for you.
They pat your cheek
And hug you tight
And tuck you safe in bed
Each night.
