I absolutely love it, like everyone else its a reflection of my mom, Victoria . She's still stubborn and tries to do everything she shouldn't. And now that I'm older I never realized how much pain my mom endured, until I was diagnosed with RA. I Love You mom

For me I wish I could have expressed all the things she mean to me. She was the strongest woman I know. Throught her illness she never give up. One thing she said was, I can beat this right. Within two years she passed away with ovarian cancer. I admire and respect her. I cherish and will treasure all the fun times we shared. You were the best sister ever. I love you sis, one day I'll see you again. THANK YOU.

For me, my mom is the strongest women I've ever met for until now she could still overcome all trials that we've experience in our family. I hope my mom will never give up for us and for our family.

When I first read this poem, I broke down in tears. My mom has been coping with arthritis for 27 years so I felt this poem was written for her. She's my everything!

I lost my Mum this year and this poem really touched me. Through her many years of working on a farm and raising twelve kids plus 6 grandchildren my Mums hands held out to each of us on her last days. Her wedding ring though so many years old was as though it were new. She was 93 yrs old. Thank you for sharing this poem.

My mom has gone to heaven years ago. But this poem reminds me of her who I loved most with her strong spirit yet very gentle to me and my brother. As a single parent, she raised both of us...And now I'm a mother too, I can feel what my mother has gone through and I do now...
This is a very touching moment in this poem...thank you very much!

It reminds me so much of my mom who passed away last May. Mom's hands were always there for us!

My mums hands are easily bruised when she bumps them. The bruises come up instantly and are painful. She has the same hands as her mother they are very thin skinned. I have always said to her that I have her hands and she is remorseful for that. But this poem just illustrates that even though the hands themselves are week her heart and soul is strong. I will give her this poem to lift her heart and warm the heart and remind her how strong she really is. Xxx

Although my mom has been gone for a year now. Her hands still play a big part in my life I think this poem is an excellent description of my mother. Mardell.
