Hands reaching out to share...
Hands lifted up in prayer,
Healing hands of doctor or nurse
Giving their tender loving care.
Hands skillfully used to play the drums,
A melody on the flute or violin,
Hands applauding a performance well done,
An orchestral work played,
A song beautifully sung!

Ohhh, this is such a beautiful topic to write on, I love the fact that you said in response to a comment that it was supposed to be based on "reaching out to people" - that's just fantastic alone, but the way in which you structured it, mentioning the different ways that hands could be used was wonderful.
I like too, that you didn't overdo it by making it too long and rambling! Honestly, the length of this was just perfect!
And naturally the fact that it mentioned musicians pleased me! 
Thanks for entering it
