A Committed Hand

The strong standing windmill
The fine roots of a flower
The path between the undergrowth
The 60th minute of an hour.
The cutter of the kite rope
The front door to a home
The candle throughout the journey
The extendable leash while we roam
The golden lining of the cardigan
The glass within a frame
The outer layer of the contents
The soil from which we came
The encouraging flow of the river
The sparkle in the star
The proud committed hand
The key holder to who we are.
