These Weary Hands

The hands that helped raise me.

These Weary Old Hands,

They’ve Been through so much.

These Weary Old Hands,

They’ve worked very hard

Just to be where they are at

Right at this very Moment in time.

Through the birth of 2 Children,

Through the raising of these 2 children

Who are now Amazing Adults,

Through all the many losses,

Through comforting others

In their time of need,

These hands have worked so hard.

These weary old hands

Have made it through

These past 93 years.

These weary old hands

Are not only a testament

To all the many hours

Of cleaning and chores,

But these beautiful hands

Show that though life is hard,

Life is worth any struggle

That a person may encounter

At any point in time.

These weary old hands

Are the hands of a fighter.

These weary old hands

Are the hands of an angel

Who was sent from above

To bless the lives

Of all those that she has encountered.

These hands have worked hard

So that others may not have to.

These hands have worked so hard

To make life easier for her family.

These beautiful, weary old hands

Have held the hearts of many,

Showing love and showing compassion,

Showing the same Mercy

That God shows us.

These Beautiful, Weary Hands

Have helped many

Through times of trouble

And through times of Need.

These weary old hands,

Run Down, yet Elegant,

Show that no matter how long

A person lives before passing on,

They should do their best

To succeed in life,

Even if it means

Having to do a lot of work.

The more work a person does

Throughout their lifetime,

The better results they have

Both later in life,

As well as better lives

For those after them.

These hands are alluring,

They tell the story

Of a life well spent.

These hands,

Though weary and wore out,

Show how much joy

A person can receive in life,

Even when life seems to be

Long and Troublesome.

These hands,

They are the hands

Of a Loving Grandma.

A Grandma who has been there

For both of her kids,

Who has been there

For all her Grandkids.

A Grandma who is now

Having the favor returned,

And being cared for

By her Kids and her Grandkids

Who all love her so much.


Grandma, thank you for all that you've done for everybody. Not only have you raised two kids, but you've also helped to raise four grandchildren and even watched as two of those grandchildren got married. You are a fighter, you are an inspiration, and you are an amazing Christian influence. You are loved by so many, and you have touched everybody's lives that you have come in contact with. Everyone loves you so much, and we want what is best for you in every situation.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
