about

While Grandma’s Hands is a tribute to my own grandmother, it honors the hard work and determination of all grandmothers who give their all to their family and community. I can barely remember a time when my grandma’s hands were empty; she was perpetually busy.

lyrics

Her hands reached out to those in need
When she could a hungry mouth she would feed
When something needed planted she was first to sow the seed
Grandma's hands always did good deeds

Grandma's hands were seldom ever idle
They held a child, a hand, or a Bible
They'd be rockin' a cradle or wipin' down a table
Grandma's hands did what they were able

Her hands did the cookin' and the cleanin'
But she still found the time to stitch and sew
and in between the times she wasn't ironin'
She'd piece a quilt to shield someone from cold

Grandma's hands were seldom ever idle
They held a child, a hand, or a Bible
They'd be rockin' a cradle or wipin' dry a table
Grandma's hands did what they were able

Grandma's hands did what they were able
