Open Hands
in Short Poems
I won't clasp my hands on all I can get,
I open them, Lord, for what you choose to give.
To receive Your gifts brings no regret,
I won't clasp my hands on all I can get,

Learning a paradox too --
That it's not always forward movement;
Sometimes, the reverse will do.Featured Shared StoryI've only just found this poem of yours - I like it very much. I must look out for more of your work. Very best wishes, Ann.

I can relate to this, especially that last line. Beautiful poem.
"If You Must Go" is a terrific poem. The author shared a truly inspiring and beautiful message.
Wow! A truly amazing poem with a beautiful message for parents. Childhood is a special period with so much joy, innocence and wonder. It is a delightful stage. Besides, so much good can be accomplished during this time as it is way easier to nuture sound children than fix broken adults. This fantastic poem captures it all and more in beautiful words. Many thanks to the poet.
This is a lovely poem. It's easy read and it shares a beautiful message. Many thanks to the poet.
This is an amazing poem - saying so much in very few words. Things don't always go the way we want, and sometimes we have to adapt and do so cheerfully - a very important lesson. It is also picturesque and has the kind of brevity and flow that brings it easily to mind - like Emily Dickinson's "If I can stop one heart from breaking." It's an amazing poem with a good message. Thank you for sharing.
