My Two Hands

Kim Marleen Fuentes Hendrickson 1960 (San Jose)

I have two hands I use to create,
I have my face to communicate,
I draw,
I paint,
My art is an expression I will take through my life.
I have two eyes to read, two hands to write.
My family, my peers teach me skills that will take me
through life.
I thank God for giving me family, friends and hope.
I thank all that has enriched my life with love and acceptance.
