Radial Club Hand

A cycle of poems «Pediatric Orthopedics»

The club hand's a curve, a twist of fate
A surgeon's knife, a life rearranged
Radial nerve, a whisper of pain
A phantom grip, a memory's refrain

Oh, the radial club hand, a story untold
A struggle to grasp, a future to hold
A different design, a unique embrace
Finding the strength, in a wounded space

The stares and the whispers, a constant sting
But inside the heart, a warrior's wing
Therapy's touch, a gentle hand's guide
Building the muscle, the spirit inside

Oh, the radial club hand, a story untold
A struggle to grasp, a future to hold
A different design, a unique embrace
Finding the strength, in a wounded space

From splints and braces, to prosthetics' might
Embracing the journey, with all of your light
A testament to courage, a spirit so bright
Reaching for stars, with all of your might

Oh, the radial club hand, a story untold
A struggle to grasp, a future to hold
A different design, a unique embrace
Finding the strength, in a wounded space

The club hand's a symbol, a lesson we learn
To rise above hardship, and bravely return
A reminder to cherish, the gifts we possess
And find beauty and strength, in imperfection's caress.
