These hands will never be famous. Or well-known.
[Except to those that matter.]
But these hands have rocked a baby to sleep. Wiped a boogey from a nose. Put a band-aid on a boo-boo. Wiped spaghetti sauce from a small face. Put pigtails in hair. Played Ring-Around-the-Rosy. Painted tiny toes. Held a baby for hours.
I look at these hands and I see the {beautiful} wear of motherhood. It's not noticable to others, but to me, the markings are so clearly there.
