Waving Hands

Waving hands, bidding goodbye
Hands that speak, hands that weep
Hands that hold, hands that let fly

In their waving, hands connect
Long after they are out of sight
Triggering hearts and souls to reflect

On journeys across the common miles
Of tunnels and bridges and winding roads
Hand in hand, winks and smiles

The journeys now wind through their own ways
To new destinations and to new joys
Holding new hands while riding new waves

Celebrating a life that kisses you sweet
With hands & spirits that wave in the air
Hands that pray, hands that greet

Hands that build, hands that shape
Hands that unlock, hands that free
Dreams and wonders for minds to gape

And then hands that hold must let fly
Over new seas, hands wave away
And in their waving, bid goodbye
