Analysis of If These Hands Could Talk
Kendra Englehart 1986 (USA)
If these hands could talk,
Oh, the stories they could tell.
They would tell stories of Love and Laughter,
Stories of Heartache and Tears.
If these hands could talk,
They would tell stories of
growing, learning, and doing;
Stories of holding, hugging, and dancing.
If these hands could talk,
They would tell a story of a lifetime!
